passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
Many letters, when people are ill, can be a great bother, as I well know. But I will not be in New York3 before November, and I would like very much to know how Mrs. Canby4 is. In a few days I leave here2 and go down to the Shattuck Inn5, Jaffrey, N.H.6 I'd be ever so grateful if in a week or ten days from now you would send me a line there, telling me how she gets on. Please give her my love, and tell her that I simply beg her to get well. I want to see her and you, and I want good fortune and happiness for you both.
Sincerely Yours Willa Cather
