If ever the Mighty Men get their claws on that international flying busi- ness, we'll see a lot of fine pioneering go up in some very acrid smoke. we That letter to Mary I started writing when the girl went away to college ran to 200,000 words, and I had to have it bound in leather, thick as a big diction- ary, before I handed it to her on Christ- mas Day . . . and it’s only just fairly begun.

It may not come out all right, since things seldom do, once they get tied up into knots, but it will come out. . Anyway, we are bound for a national in- come of a hundred billion dollars a year, which is far better than two flivvers in every garage and a chicken in every pot....
