Ans : Points• Found the book

• a woman of strong values
Ans - John Blandford had found a
book ‘Of Human Boundage’ in
Florida Army Library. Throughout
the book he saw notes in a woman’s
handwriting and liked the remarks
about how she could see into a
man’s heart. He found her address
in a New York City telephone book
and wrote to her. She replied and
they continued writing.
Their friendship grew and Blandford finally
requested her to send her photograph but
she flatly refused She wrote that looks were
not important and added that she may be a
very plain looking woman. If Blandford truly
loved her, he would accept her as she was.
