April 26, 1905. DARLING ETHEL: Of course you remember the story of the little prairie girl. I always associate it with you. Well, again and again on this trip we would pass through prairie villages  bleak and lonely  with all the people in from miles about to see me. APRIL TWENTY SIXTH NINETEEN O FIVE DARLING ETHEL OF COURSE YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF THE LITTLE PRAIRIE GIRL I ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH YOU WELL AGAIN AND AGAIN ON THIS TRIP WE WOULD PASS THROUGH PRAIRIE VILLAGES BLEAK AND LONELY WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IN FOR MILES AROUND TO SEE ME
ng him home for Archie or Quentin. He would go everywhere with them and would ride Betsy or Algonquin. On the third day out I got a fine big black bear, an old male who would not tree, but made what they call in Mississippi a walking bay with the dogs, fighting them off all the time. The chase lasted nearly two hours and was ended by a hard scramble up a canyon side; and I made a pretty good shot at him as he was walking off with the pack around him. He killed one dog and crippled three that I think will recover, besides scratching others. My 30-40 Springfield worked to perfection on the bear. I suppose you are now in the thick of your studies and will have but little time to rest after the examinations. I shall be back about the 18th, and then we can take up our tennis again. Give my regards to Matt. I am particularly pleased that Maurice turned out so well. He has always been so pleasant to me that I had hoped he would turn out all right in the end.
