Dear Mary [inserted in pencil: Dec 1919] I wonder what is ? you sooner. Any how it is getting so near the anniversary of ? Christ that I am moved to write. Life drifts on just the same always working. Always trying this time succeeding but finding more ? and contented in life as the days go on. My latest ? is Wilson & Baker & the net of the ? crowd who not only are losing their present glory but seem bound to write themselves down in history as the bringers of freedom. I cant see how they ? the victims of war lingering in prison now that the war is over and the world is safe for Democracy Neither can I see why ? papers and good people are ? their frenzied crusade against ? & the blatant majority following the senseless military leaders of Loyal Legion in their violations of well defined rights
