Yes, is a woman; can't explain name. In the South, however, it was common to feminize the
name of a male relative. Wish they had just left it William. Glad he likes the book. It stays very close to
fact.

Regrets having received his letter only today. Is grateful to accept election to the Academy. Has
heard many of his public statements, with which she agrees. Senses the country is drifting
toward dreadful events contrary to its traditional values and daily experience.
