My mother cannot learn to have any reliance upon my financial judgment or promises. It's partly, I suppose, because she still thinks of me as a child... She even hesitates to let me have the responsibility of bringing up butter from the spring(house), for fear I won't do it quite right!... This unaccountable daughter who roams the world, borrowing money here and getting shot at there... is a pride, in a way, but a ceaseless apprehension, too.


Letter to Guy Moyston, (July 18, 1925).
