Dear Dorothy1:

When are you coming to New York2? Didn't you write me that spring was going to bring me a call from you—that you were sure to come sometime soon? The new book3 is nearly done, so I'm going to have time to breathe a little. I can't go out of town, but I can take a day off whenever you come. Thank you for the books, my dear. I hadn't seen them, and I'm going to read them very soon. I'd didn't get back from Nebraska4 until Jan. 155!

Devotedly Willa
