Knopf3 will be in town2 from the 14th to the 17th of June and will be more than glad to see you.He at once suggested lunch, but I told him we had rather not. Lunching with any publisher always does me up for the day. He is a nice man, with a real enthusiasm for book-making,-but, for this story, he has exactly the limitations you mention.
Many people have helped me with Claude4, unknowingly, in one way and another, and now it's quite as if you were coming down a day earlier in his account! I can easily send you back5 the same set of proofs you had, if it will be any convenience. Of course it will all look fresher in the book, but say the word if you want the proofs.
Just now life seems to be made up of uninteresting chores. I am looking forward wistfully to seeing you. Jim6 dropped in for half an hour one noon not long ago. I was so pleased to see him again.
Lord, what a comfort it is to me to have you knowing and caring about Claude!
Yours Willa
