Sam also wrote to Frances Nunnally.
Francesca dear, you are cert airily a scandalous little rascal! I suppose you have been within a mile of this house half a dozen times, lately, & yet you wouldn’t come & see a person. However, you have put in your time better, & so I forgive you.
If I were well enough I would go to New York now, looking at the show—that is, you.
I don’t know whether you are ever going to get home or not, but if you ever do, let me know, so that I may cease to be uneasy about you. Fold your wings & quiet down! You are the only aeroplane of the lot that doesn’t have to keep coming down all the time to get some more gasoline.
With lots of love. dear heart. & kindest regards to vour father & mother. / ... [MTP: MTAq 265].
