Chapter V
I sat down, humble, reverent, but incommunicably proud and happy, to my unfinished letter. Unless I posted it immediately she would not get it when she woke upon her birthday morning. I finished it. I posted it just as it was--brief, the writing a little shaky, the paper cheap, blot, smudge, and all: “..._and my worship_.”
