Repository: Drew University Library, Special Collections and Archives

To Rev. James Robert Henry, Tuesday [June 22, 1897] ; Drew U (Adams 140)

Has to write to him since he will not come to see her. Is starting to accept Lyda [Axtell's] estimation that he is inconsistent. Is leaving Wednesday for a month. Has finished reading Gibbon [ Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ]! Has he? Will remember how nice he has been; he was the first genuine friend she made in Pittsburgh. Will attend his Sunday School class when she returns. His Christianity is admirable and good-hearted. Goodbye. Willa Cather
