Robert Morriss Browning correspondence to Mabel C. Williams, November-December 1917

1917-11-02 Robert M. Browning to Miss Mabel C. Williams Page 3

tempt us. Please read one or both of these articles if you can in November Scribner's and Atlantic.
I hears a lot about Mary and Pole early in the summer. She found him in Chicago, didn't she? Is it a sure thing? Who is getting stung this time?

It has not been warm in our quarters more than a few hours at a time for a couple of weeks. But we shiver and look forward to our winter homes. We hope to move into steam heated quarters about the end of the month.
Thompson will get around to it after a while, i think, but he's been taking work too seriously to give life enough thought, don't you think? Give him time. - and a larger salary, I noticed that Thompson's name was third in the list and that mine followed as an afterthought. Her camouflage ought to better than that when she writes to a Psychologist, oughtn't it? It got by me until you mentioned it, though, so I guess I'm a soldier and not a scientist.
I resent, a little, however you intimation that you consider a "natural, full life" incompatible with the Service. In fact I believe it would be a very satisfactory life for some temperaments.
Very sincerely Bob
