Letter from John G. Neihardt to Robert H. Davis, April 20, 1906
My dear Davis:—
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the profile taken in the blue coat. The picture taken in the black one is rather vague. All that I gather from it is that you are taller or shorter than the other gentleman who is not you. I am very thankful for this, however.
I wonder if Mr. Waters has given you a headache.
I'm glad you have lots of fun, even tho' I have less. Your unfailing optimism must be a great comfort to you. As for me, altho' I fight against them, the blue devils do come at times Don't forget the profile—Please.
Yours sincerely, Jno. G. Neihardt Bancroft, Nebr, Apr. 20, 1906
