ABSTRACT
The summer of 1915 was a turning point for Sessions, as might be expected of someone finishing college. He wrote to George Bartlett, who had visited him in Northampton in late August.
I have been going thru a revolution this summer, and have made it miserable for everyone with whom I have come in contact. You see, as soon as the revolution is over—and I think it will be soon—I will be no longer a child; and I think you will like me better than you did this summer, for, I must admit, I have been an ass. So please forget the unpleasant times, and remember the pleasant ones—the long constitutionals we took—especially the first one. I should hate to think you took seriously all I said about my family, for instance. But, the truth is, I have been going thru a violent reaction this summer, and as soon as I stopped working mentally, chaos appeared. Amen. However, I think you will find me a little less disagreeable thereafter. 1
