Across the Spectrum:The Interdisciplinary Life and Letters of John G. Neihardt (‘Flaming Rainbow’)

You're back again and so am I. This is just to say hello and how good it was to be with you for a few minutes in Portland. You and I are drawn together by Fate, and yet we seem to slip past one another!! One of these times perhaps we'll have a real comradely session — maybe over a tall stein of Olympia. I hope so.

My visit was for good me. I'm really a bit lonely, I can tell you,

and it was good to be in your home for a few days. Everyone was so good to me — including precious Perky! I have wondered, since my return, if I was not an intruder, but it was good to be with Charles and Minna, Robin and Barbara. They are dear people. And old Casey! What a boy!

It was good of you to let me share in getting Perky for old man Stewart! I love that young man, and now I love his doggie too.

Good liking this old man at least a little!

Of course, your Lucile was her dear self and very kind.
