passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
You were than kind to give me a card to the Allens3, and I am ashamed that I have not thanked you before this. I have had a three-weeks session of influenza and have been too dull to take my pen in hand. When I am a little more robust I will write Mrs. Allen.
In the meantime, let me wish you a Happy New Year and tell you with what pleasure I always think of our friendship of many years. When I pass your office I always say "Good morning, Doctor May," in my mind. There are few people in my life now whom I have known so long as I have known you.
Faithfully yours Willa Cather
