letterhead while in this complicated scale of existence, you fill me with envy and despair. For I am a pugnacious, meat-eating
barbarian, over fond of food and drink and excitement and the philosophic balance which is a matter of course to you comes
very hard to me. I dont write much because I dont know much. I think a great deal but am shy on definite facts. Anyhow I've
had a life of it, and whatever comes next I'm ready for it, for which The Lord be thankit. You must get in with our American
Magazine outfit. Phillips, Miss Tarbell Dooley Dunne, Baker and Wm Allen White. They are your people. Cant you get in some
stuff for them. Yours William Kent 04314
