Robert Morriss Browning correspondence to Mabel C. Williams, April-June 1918

1918-06-08 Robert M. Browning To Dr. Mabel C. Williams Page 1

Saturday noon.
Dear Miss Williams-
I am returning the letters of Ream and Fosster. Thank you for letting me read them.
Thank you also for the bits of news from home. I should have liked seeing Penny's sister again. That whole family, or at least the half a dozen or so of them that I know, are real people, the kind you like to know. I hate to be pessimistic but I grow more convinced as I grow older that people who are real are mighty scarce. "The world is a stage" for fair.
You got your wish all right. I've not only been made to "want to swear" but I've gratified my desire intermittently ever since I read that note about the conversational tastes of your red-headed friend. I'd like to spank her and her source of information as well. I suppose she has edified various interested listeners with her "inside dope." Oh, I take that back. I wouldn't swear at a "lady." D-- it!
I sure would be happy at a little Prussian party this afternoon. I'd clean out a couple of squads all by myself. I'm that willing to fight that I'd just love to bite some body.

Saving...

Saturday noon. Dear Miss Williams- I am returning the letters of Ream and Fosster. Thank you for letting me read them. Thank you also for the bits of news from home.

I hate to be pessimistic but I grow more convinced as I grow older that people who are real are mighty scarce. "The world is a stage" for fair. You got your wish all right. I've not only been made to "want to swear" but I've gratified my desire intermittently ever since I read that note about the conversational tastes of your red-headed friend.
