Perhaps I would believe that I was immortal if I didn't feel that I had seen the damn show and didn't want to see it again.But you have read all about these things I am working again waiting for another rest which I hope to get soon. in some place where it isn't as hot and where I don't hear so much of trouble and sorrow and hopeless sorrow. If I can get my ears cleared or get far enough away I would hear it or see it or know that it exists; I am getting a little older all the time. My 5 unclear words and I am not as ambitious etc etc but still I do get interested in life as it hustles bye. Last summer I wrote a book which will be published next month and as soon as I get one I will send it to you. I thought it was pretty good when I wrote it but have read it & corrected the proofs so often that I begin to think no one should read it unless they are paid for itI am anxious to know how your book is coming on
