YARROS WILLIAM L. CARLINsee you looking at the manger Mary. I was interested in your Vigilantes - see they are ? in ? - poor fellows. Has the world ? a man hunt - specifically those who dont lose a lady hunt. Was a good prophet in woman suffrage. You know I was. Every hope for political radicalism is gone.
