passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
I had to leave on Monday, a week earlier than I expected, because I got alarming news about mother4. Later telegrams say she has rallied from that heart attack, but I am glad to be on my way, though I'm terribly tired from the rush at the last. I always sleep well on the train, as if I were in a cradle, and three nights on the Santa Fé will be very recuperative. I'm staying over the day with an old Red Cloud5 friend6, and leave tonight on the Limited.
