          News from the Scene of Action

    At the fourth watch of Thursday the 13th of November, Hannibal routed the advenace guard of the Romans and led the Carthginian forces over the mountains into the plains of Casilinum. A cohort of Light-armed Numidians engaged the infantry of Quintus Fabius Maxmus. Two battles and light skirmishing. Romans repulsed with heavy losses.

    P.S.  I know I'm not to expect any letters in return, and I've been wanted not to bother you with questions, but tell me, Daddy, just this once ー are you awfully old or just a little old ? And are you perfectly bald or just a little bald ? It is very difficult thinking about you in the abstract like a theorem in geometry.

    Given a tall rich man who hates girl, but is very generous to one quite impertinent girl, what does he look like.

    P.S.V.P.
