I wouldn't say anything out side about Pershing [[crossed out word]] and Orlando until it is settled.

Also do not describe what kind of a pose I am taking for the King's portrait, or I am liable to change it. You can imagine the work on an 8 foot canvas! 

I must stop, for its farther on to my back bone. This is an awful, and I am afraid 
unintelligible scrawl, its too bad, but I can't seem to settle down to do better.

Keep well, and everything will be lovely bye & bye, 

Is Marion getting on nicely, 
Keep me informed, and about Jerry & Wendell and yourself, devoted love to all of you,
