Durham, Andrew Everett, 1882-1954

"Epistles from Pap: Letters from the man known as 'The Will Rogers of Indiana'"

But let's hope it
doesn't. I don't want anything to happen to anybody that high up,
much less Sugar Foot and me. I wouldn't want that to happen even
to a Republican--provided there are any of them left up there by
this time.
I see I started out telling you about Aura May's problem and
wound up in politics. Her problem is this: she didn't declare
said alleged mink neck piece on leaving the States. Now some low
fellow tells us we will have trouble getting "back-in" with it.
My hope is there are no mink south of Key West. And besides, the
more I get the few glimpses of that neck piece the more I am
convinced they're house cats made up to look like anything that
has to pay a duty.

INTERVIEWED BY THE URUGUAY PRESS
To The Graphic
Greencastle, Ind.
The evening of Dec. 10th we sailed out of Santos, redolent of
coffee, and the next morning docked in Montevideo, to be met by
another "angel" from one of those heaven sent Companies we've
been blessed with so far. . . With the aid of an interpreter, we
were to have our pictures taken and give an interview to a
reporter for one of the newspapers.
They wanted to know how we liked Uruguay and Montevideo.
Naturally, we didn't know, not having set foot on either yet.
