I was delighted to get your note. We will wait and see what your needs are when you get home from abroad, shall we not? In the mean time I shall have plenty to do. Things keep turning up. I want to stay here until after Christmas if I can; this seems to be exactly the kind of life I need for awhile. I have not felt so well or enjoyed life so much for several years. Please tell Mrs. McClure3 that I hope I may see her in Africa4 later in the winter. I think I shall be feeling ready for an ocean voyage after I have completed my "winter cure" up here. Of course I shall not go abroad if there is anything important to detain me in New York5. Please remember me to Miss Roseboro6 when you see her.
Faithfully Willa Cather
