Your letters are certainly like drinks of fine cold spring water on a hot day- They have a spark of the kind of fire in them that makes life worthwhile- That nervous energy that makes people like you and I want and go after everything in the world- bump our heads on all the hard walls and scratch our hands on all the briars- but it makes living great- doesn’t it?- I’m glad I want everything in the world- good and bad- bitter and sweet- I want it all and a lot of it too.
