    My Dear Boy,

    …Of course the big fellows who made the laws don't seem to be censored for their acts, but the others do. We have Sir Edward Carson and several others like him who does not want Home Rule for Ireland and who threatens to fight England if they pass the Home Rule bill. Of course he being a big lawer and M.P. his incendary speaches are considered political, therefore not punishable. Lansburg who advised the suffragists to follow in Sir Edwards methods was arrested. He says he as no abjection to punishment providing they punish Carson and others who are equally guilty.

    I used to think the law in America was one sided and I think it is the same here. As a whole I think I like the Americans as well as the English men. Their are lots of these English dirty drunken lazy persons. Of course their are some good ones.

    I just asked the little Boss if I could go to Paris as per your instructions. She puts up her little hand and at the same time gives me a look that means no. But she don't say anything so you will just have to form your own conclusions about me going.

    I would rather see the Panama Canal before water was in it than anything I know of. Especially a few days before it was filled and then see it filled.

    Your affectionate Father.
