[The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, Volume II by Burton J. Hendrick]@TWC D-Link bookThe Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, Volume II CHAPTER XXIV 48/68
This ceremony has gone on, once in five years, all this time and the town has old Knill's money! Your mother and I--though we are neither girls nor widows--danced around it this morning, wondering what sort of curmudgeon old John Knill was. Don't you see how easily we fall into an idle mood? Well, here's a photograph of little Alice looking up at me from the table where I write--a good, sweet face she has. And you'll never get another letter from me in a time and from a place whereof there is so little to tell. Affectionately, dear Kitty, W.H.P. To Ralph W.Page Tregenna Castle Hotel, St.Ives, Cornwall, March 12, 1918. MY DEAR RALPH: Arthur has sent me Gardiner's 37-page sketch of American-British Concords and Discords--a remarkable sketch; and he has reminded me that your summer plan is to elaborate (into a popular style) your sketch of the same subject.
You and Gardiner went over the same ground, each in a very good fashion.
That's a fascinating task, and it opens up a wholly new vista of our History and of Anglo-Saxon, democratic history.
Much lies ahead of that.
And all this puts it in my mind to write you a little discourse on _style_.
