passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
My love and greetings to the old friends in my own town3 who are remembering me today4. I think they know I would rather have their friendship than any other reward. When I was a child I loved my own town more than most children do, but I could not show it. I used to hope that some day I could make my town pleased with me. If I have succeeded it makes me very happy.
Willa Cather
