User-Contributed Transcription [in pencil]:  [no transcription]  March 15 - 1921   Edgewood[letterhead]140 North Dearborn St    ChicagoDear Mary It is really time that I wrote you. I think of you every day (N.B. & sometimes twice) but I am a bum little writer as you know. I saw Sarah a few minutes on her way east buthave not seen her since, she promised to let me know on her return - but have not heard from her. If it page torn I will try to get her on the subjectyou mention and ? I can.  I am sorry for all of them but I guess more for Mr Wood than the others. His case is so helpless & he is so torn by conflicting interestsWhat can one do with his family ties    Imagine little Margarette tugging at your heart strings. Life is horribly cruel and the trouble is there is no way out of anything.Except out of life & no one has the nerve to take the sure road. I know for I have tried to take it. On the whole it seems as if Sarah should fight it out. It cant be changedbut this doesnt mean that it is not hard for her it is.  Think of all the fool rainbows and baubles that are held up to us to lure us on. We know all about but still we thinkthat we will find the pot of gold and chase & chase until we plunge headlong into the open grave. I believe that every thing is an illusion and that the world has no placefor people like you
