January 23, 1986 Dear Mr. Conroy,

     I have just finished reading "The Disinherited" and want to thank you for making this Christmas gift from my parents very special.  Your inscriptions meant a lot to me and to them.
     Though your stories took place many years ago, I couldn't help but think that so much of what you wrote about is still true today.   Washington, D.C. has a large population of "the Disinherited..."  perhaps no larger than other areas, but certainly more visible...and I couldn't help but think of them while reading your book.
     I will be making my annual trek to Moberly this summer and plan on making dear old Dad take me on a Monkey Nest tour.  It's a visit I look forward to.
     Again, thank you for your kind words.

Sincerely, Susan Carter
