Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 27, '18 Dear Mother: - Thought you would like to know that I have been reading "Odd Corners," and can finish it to-day. May read it through again. Have read "Turretts [sic], Towers and Temples" several times. The novels I usually give a "lick and a promise." Your loving son, Henry Westwick Roberts
