passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
Your written message brought happy tears to my eyes—it was like a warm hand-clasp. To me, always, persons have meant more that worlds, and the older I grow the more that is true. My old friends are more dear to me than anything the world can give me, and are the chief source of my happiness.
With my love to you both3, and all my good wishes for you in this New year.
Willa Cather
