Same, Chuck
Same
@kims I read this to a friend and she said, „No matter how stupid you may feel sometimes, remember that Little Red Riding Hood could not figure out that the talking wolf was not her grandma.“

@kims I love that whole letter so much.

The full last paragraph:

"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.— I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids8 & today I hate them worse than everything so farewell & in a sweet frame of mind, I am | Ever yours "

Charles was a real one.
