Correspondence from Leah Hirsig to C. F. Russell
[handwritten addition: Address 1199 Boston Rd. Bx.]
New York,
May 21, 1919
My dear ———— Russell,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I promised myself this treat some days ago but like a dutiful woman, I have had to postpone the pleasurable for the urgent. Now, however, I have a few moments I can steal (from the children in school) which place accounts for the poor stationary. Really N.Y. City is a rotten place!
I hear you reached Detroit OK—I'm sure you are in good hands with our friend Jones [Charles Stansfeld Jones] (too good, perhaps) and I certainly hope you'll have success yourself as well as being a great help to him.
A.C. called me up at noon time—Jerrill [?] was with him, so I presume he has postponed the painful operation of SUICIDE. I only regret that both you and I were not at 63 Wash. Sq. at the same time.
We had an interesting time with the match stick experiment about two weeks ago—everything came about just right even tho' Dr. Seidel made a great fuss before he would let himself go—he asked question after question and made excuse after excuse—not like friend Jerrill who simply did as he was told.
Well, my time is up—I do hope you'll have time to write me a line sometime—tell me about your work—your life in general—your loves, if you will—
