CHAPTER XXV
28/51

This being so, can't you delegate the writing of telegrams about "facilitating the license to ship poppy seed to McKesson and Robbins," and come over and see big world-forces at work?
I cannot express my satisfaction at Secretary Baker's visit.

It was historic--the first member of the Cabinet, I think, who ever came here while he held office.

He made a great impression and received a hearty welcome.
That's the only grievance I can at the moment unload on you.

We're passing out of our old era of isolation.

These benighted heathen on this island whom we'll yet save (since they are well worth saving) will be with us as we need them in future years and centuries.
Come, help us heighten this fine spirit.
Always heartily yours, WALTER HINES PAGE.
P.S.
