Robert Morriss Browning correspondence to Mabel C. Williams, October 1917

math at Columbia.
I know I'd quarrel with Miss Knight if I were there. In fact, I'm afraid I came close to it in my reply to the Philothistical post card. 
It's too bad about the poor froggies, Were their legs good?
I'm afraid I misunderstood your reference to what I was studying. You must have meant what I'd study all winter. That is something else! There are lots of good books on tactics, and the autobiographies [[insertion]] & memoirs [[/insertion]] of great generals also are recommended. The best way to learn how [[insertion]] to do it [[/insertion]] is to read how it's been done so I intend to get a few books of history. Fortunately St. Paul had just dedicated a wonderful public library so I intend to get some of my books there.
I heard about the Step-Dot wedding in a letter from Her. She says weddings terrify Her.
I intend to leave here Friday evening and come into Iowa City on the first car from Cedar Rapids Saturday. We are going to the game together. 
"I aint mad at nobody."
Sincerely
