Down at bottom the Englishman is a good fellow.
He has his faults but he doesn't get tired and he doesn't suffer spasms of emotion. Give my love to Mrs.Houston, and do sit down and write me a good long letter--a whole series of them, in fact. Believe me, always most heartily yours, WALTER HINES PAGE.

DEAR MR.
POLK: You are good enough to mention the fact that the Embassy has some sort of grievance against the Department.
Of course it has, and you are, possibly, the only man that can remove it.
It is this: You don't come here to see the war and this government and these people who are again saving the world as we are now saving them.
