Jacksons Summer Letters and a Humorous Wakeup
A husband Jackson drafts a solo seaside vacation while his wife Mrs. Jackson protests. He writes brief, cheerful letters from the trip to imply neglect at home, while she responds with mounting admonitions. He uses a scheme of copying her old letters to justify his methods, prompting a sharp response. A humorous digression and quote from Charles Francis Read about dreamers closes the piece.
