On such a day one
cannot but think
of home, of green grass,
of budding trees, of new
clothes, of church music.
My sister is singing
today in church. At
home it is 11 o clock in
the evening and they have
just gone to bed. Maybe
Withrop is nursing over
his cigar before the open
fire. May is at home and
possibly Lillian and Neil.
May God bless them all.
I have never been
homerich but three years
in the Arctic has endeared
me to it more than I can
tell.
