Dear Mary

How good your letters are and how I do like to get them. No one else can write such letters. I wish I could publish them

 In a day or two I will send you a book, The best I have seen since Jean Christophe. A wonderful, book full of life & human nature & the meanness & littleness of it all. I wish you would write something for the Bulletin about it. I am getting people out all the time - sometimes getting money & sometimes nothing but always getting them out. The judges always seem to do what I ask them to do for the poor. The trouble is that I can only speak for a very small part of the poor & there seems to be no one to speak for the rest in court.

I am doing more talking than usual strange
