 "The Little
Girl She Used to Be," by Grace Imogen Gish.
"She comes, love
crowned, to greet me now, When womanhood and wifehood meet; Hope's
hallowed light upon her brow, Her lips grown strangely, gently sweet;
She does not know I only see The little girl she used to be. With
arm in mine, she softly tells Of coming joy in her new life; Her eyes
are shrines where calm truth dwells, Her cheeks are roses, color rife;
Yet somehow still I seem to see The little girl she used to be.
Oh, magic years, that gave each day Some greater charm, some lovelier
grace, Until you lured the child away and left a maiden in her
place. You are well vanquished! Still I see The little girl
she used to be!" -From the personal papers of Frank Alexander Contributed by Ruth "Lolly" Alexander

Letter from S.C. Pirie to Frank
Alexander, dated June 7, 1921.
"Dear Frank: Although I think
you will remember me, it is a long time since I have written you or
heard from you. I think you will recollect that you and Charlie
gave my brother and myself a fine hunt for elk and antelope quite a
number of years ago. I would like to make another trip out to that
country of yours, but hardly see my way clear to go away for the
present, although if it turns out to be possible, you are likely to hear
from me any time I can make it fit in. My twenty year old boy is
at college and of course will be free for the summer. He wants to
get out doors and is not only willing to work, but is even quite anxious
to. One of his objects in this is to increase his weight and
strength, although he is naturally fairly husky. I rather suspect
that he has in mind further activities in some branches of the college
athletic sports, at which he has been somewhat successful already.
It would not be fitting for me to sound his praises, but he is rather an
agreeable sort of fellow, well able to accommodate himself to whatever
circumstances he is placed in, and more inclined to cooperate than
oppose. How would you like to have such a fellow around for a
month or two, and do you think you could keep him employed to your own
satisfaction? I know of no reason why he could not be made useful
and I believe it would be his desire to put in his time to your
advantage, without being too particular as to what you direct for
occupying his time or how you changed it as varying circumstances would
warrant. If you can propose or suggest anything in this line,
perhaps in more than one way, I will be glad to hear from you with as
little delay as possible, and hope to have at least some kind of word
from you promptly, even if it is only to tell me that you are well and
that things are going along nicely with you. I hope such is the
case and you have herewith my best regards and wishes. Yours very
truly, S. C. Pirie. P.S. Best regards to Charlie. Please
address you {sic} reply, c/o Carson Pirie Scott & Co., 404 Fourth
Ave, New York, N.Y." -From the personal papers of Frank Alexander Contributed by Ruth "Lolly" Alexander
