Mad? Of course not. But I am disappointed. I wanted to have a nice little dinner for you and Alfred Knopf3. I'm sure you and he would get on together. I was at the heart doctor4's the afternoon you came bearing honey, and Edith5 never gets home until 5:30.
Now why didn't you get a back room down at the Grosvenor6, quiet as the grave, tested out by a noise crank like myself?
My hand7 was taken out of splints yesterday, but I can't tie, or push, or pull or lift with it for a long while, and it's not an ornament, God knows! However, it is getting better.
I was delighted with 4 Saints8—Edith didn't like it so much. There's a good9 article10 about it in the May "Mercury"11.
I'm glad Van Vechten12 was able to copy Yehudi13's picture, and glad for you to have it. I didn't mean to be fussy, but you know such things do get lost.
Now remember the Grosvenor, when you can be quiet.
Yours with love Willa
