![Barton writes to Miss Kensel on various matters of Red Cross business. “Like yourself, I am too hurried to do more than make a visible sign of life….

![A late, long letter by the great humanitarian writing to former secretary Mary Kensel. "I believe I have gotten where I can speak, and continue to, without backsliding every other day...I have thought of you all, so full of business and pushing on...and our precious V.P. is buried in business! All but slow me have seemed to be working to some purpose...Miss Jennings has been, and gone, she is very busy with getting out what will be her first book. She will have a beautiful volume on Lincoln. There is such pressure brought to bear, by the authors of the news organization here in the city, The Children’s Star League, for me to take the Presidency. So much, they thought depended on it...They were altogether such unexceptional people [but] my selfishness and obstinacy gave way a little at least, and I said I would...They were delighted when, in the meeting I told them a little of First Aid and at once declared They were First-Aid to good thoughts for unfortunate children. This is a long scribble but how could I say anything, and say less?".

![To his Son-in-Law, ”There couldn’t be more reassuring news than what you gave me. Oh, what beautiful horns have grown on your enemies! They are so long that they stretch from Padua to Tavia. I can only hope that a similar extension will grow all the way from their buttocks to their throat and suffocate them just as they deserve. The recent news from here is that the magistrate has not agreed on the desired stipend that was not considerable…. So while I have taken on your cause, I am writing a forceful letter to a powerful patrician my son-in-law to move the disposition of His Excellency Gabrieli, the actual state inquirer, so that he then will speak forcefully to E. Bembo who wants to do everything to please His Exc. Gabrieli. Please remind His E. Vindmorin of the public letter so that you can collect (just like others, and, as was done with others, it did not happen barbarically to me) the usual anticipated sum, namely 24 ducats. A letter like that needs to be issued to you with the aid of the Senate. I imagine you have given yourself pleasant recourse at the house that is more or less yours, that is with my most beloved daughter. I hope and pray that such news did not overwhelm her sensibility too forcefully. More immediately, even though it has happened to you, no professor has ever been elected, and this is good. I gave the two ducats back to the noted Domenican friar as a gift. If you ever find yourself short, know that you must not think about the [table / food]. There is a spot here in my philosopher’s refectory, that is, there is enough here to sustain life. As far as sleeping goes, there is room in the house of my servant just a few steps across from me. My bed is really large, but I don’t want to sleep with you. Having been far from your house for several weeks, I don’t want to compensate and be too close now. Adieu, dear friend, let’s show the rascals for what they are; one of these days they are bound to come to a bad end.” Signed, “Adieu again, Your Caldani” In a postscript, Caldani continues, “If you have opportunity to see the generous and estimable Sig. Sanferno, greet him in my name and remind him of my affairs so that we may be given what has been withheld from me and given to other people.”](/schulson/images/items/80x160/1510.jpg "To his Son-in-Law, ”There couldn’t be more reassuring news than what you gave me.
