Summary
Responding that "of course" Mina will entice "Marion & our unhero" to visit. Sending greetings and thanks for the charming French aphorism, and mentioning hummingbirds. Discussing differences in political views held by Mina and Cummings, noting that Mina is "anti a dictator & pro the politicians who are his sworn enemies whereas from [Cummings'] standpoint, his sworn enemies & a dictator equal 2 sides (tails & heads) of the same worthless coin."
