Dear Mr Conroy,
Dear Mr Conroy,
It was both an honor and a pleasure to receive your book and I am deeply touched.
It was both an honor and a pleasure to receive your book and I am deeply touched. I had read it  in the former edition and I agree that D. Aarons introduction puts it in a new perspective.  I see from the reviews that it was very well received again.  May I keep the clippings or do you want me to send them back to you?  What I like especially about The Disinherited, in comparison with many novels of the Depression, is what we French would call its classicism:  the narrative is dense and the apparent matter of factness of the tone makes the restrained emotion the more powerful.
I hope that you are getting well - quickly - and I send you my very best wishes for the New Year
Very thankfully yours
Michel Fabre
PS:  I wrote to Henrietta Weigel who replied that she would see me.  [[crossed out:  which]] I shall go to New York shortly after Xmas and hope to see her at that time.
