Excerpt from The Unofficial Secretary It was such a cold, gray morning. The day quite matched my mood. Summer was loath to depart this year although it is now late in October.. But yesterday the wind wailed like a lost soul and all day long the rain wept against the window panes. Perhaps it was because I felt that the reading of the letter would make a great change in my life that I stood for a long time holding the envelope in my hand, not daring to break the seal. My thoughts ¿ew back to just such a day a little more than a year ago and to a scene I shall never forget. I saw once more the upstairs room in the dear old house in K Street ah, have we not seen happy days in that house, you and I where two men who had loved each other from boyhood were taking leave of each other forever. One was soon to enter the Eternal Silence. The other was leaving on the morrow to assume his duties as United States Consul to Paraguay.
