Summary
Responding to her question "how will you separate love and gratitude;" saying he cannot write "gently and nicely. But I'll try and I'll try to be interested in the children--though all children, nearly, are interesting alike. They all say odd things--and are loving and cunning and unexpected and springing up in incalculable ways--like a fountain out of grass."
