SUPERB CAUSE
— ,4— — PRIVILEGE TO ALIVE. London. My dear G—: It is most extraordinarily good of you to take Robert. . . After the most careful consideration, Mary and I have decided, on a narrow balance of argument, to keep the boys in the fortress — James at Rugby, and David and Robert at a preparatory school near Birmingham. With things as they are, and are likely to be over here, no one spot in England seems to be much safer or less safe than another. And in any case these are great days here. If you had your choice, would you have chosen any other century or year to live in? I shouldn’t, and I have not met anyone who would. It’s a privilege to be alive, and to be allowed, while life lasts, to take at least some part, no matter how small in so superb a cause. Fred.
(A letter published in the “Christian Science Monitor.”)
