I wish that I might go with you to the Yukon, and to Alaska.
I would rather be a builder than a wrecker, hoping always that the structure of life is growing—not dying.
I would rather believe that we can achieve new and better days.
I hope very much that because I have had the privilege of knowing you for a great many years, that he will come over again one of these days...
