Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. He tells her about an outdoor excursion where he saw three porpoises by his canoe. Chandler had teased him for frequently mailing an elderly woman in New Hampshire; Hafner tells her the woman was a housekeeper at the hotel who also became a caretaker to an ill man named Mr. Martin. Hafner sent fresh flowers from his garden to Martin's sick room every day, and he was impressed by how genuine and compassionate the woman was. He also recaps a conversation with a friend where he pondered connections between minds.
