of bouncing back before I could close my fingers on it. In the class- 

 room I excelled principally in copying maps and in making those 

 analytical diagrams of sentences by which we learned grammar in my 

 early days at school (and in drawing pictures of the teacher). 



"Life in general has been enjoyable, though it took me about a year 

 to get used to it. At present my principal dislikes are barking dogs, 

 radios, getting up in the morning, and nutmeg in apple pie. My only 

 regrets are the things I didn't do. If I have had any enemies they have 

 gone where they deserve to be. Since my only physical disability is 

 dental, I expect to live as long as I can eat— if the price of food 

 doesn't go too high. When I die I hope to be cremated because I still 

 retain a dread of possible resurrection and the Judgment Day. 



"This is just a brief sketch. It does not include all that I remember, 

 or anything I have forgotten.— R. E. S., April 8, 1957."
