Signed on page 2. In full: "At last the speech is going in full to
Miss Osgood. Tell her to cut it as she sees fit. I'm sorry not to have done it
before, but it really meant hours in getting it in shape - and I confess
to a program of Works and Days all summer. I have exemplified all the
[illegible] except bee culture, and perhaps may claim even to that one
since I have been stung often in other agricultural pursuits!! I have no
mind at all any more, but - what hands! Yours,". Chase (1887-1973)
wrote novels (Mary Peters, 1934; Windswept, 1941),
children's books (The Story of Lighthouses, 1965) and three
