User-Contributed Transcription 4And he is very human & awfully clever  He has delved into all phylosophies & he doesnt believe in war. neither do I but I have always been fighting. I and always expect to be & guess I hope to be and always isn't so very far off now. Still with it all I am lonely - lonelier all the time - how I wish I could see you & Older - somewhere in a spot where all the world was not shouting &? & spying & talking about business & labor Unions, and making the world safe for Democracy & spying & cheating & lying & killing & sending to jail - how I do like to shut the jail & that at least I have a chance to do now & then. I know you must be enjoying the sunshine and the flowers & the sun in these winter days. Chicago is buried under four or five feet of snow (ones I was fair as the beautiful snow) it is cold & hard & human.   It makes me think that the warmth of the crematory would be welcome. God how the people get on my nerves.  the people with their littleness & their meanness & ?  & planning & scheming as if eternity was theirs  as if they were not like the flies that my mother used to sweep off the ceiling in the frosty mornings
