October 28, 1943

Dear Mr. Hitz I was very grateful to you for informing me of your absence from home. The Cather bibliography was in an envelope and I expected to mail it that day, if I could finish the explanatory page and letter. But I was extremely busy all day and did not finish the work. Then, of course, a “cold” took possession of me and spoiled all my plans for making use of the lovely fall weather to make some of the personal calls I had planned. The “cold” preceeded to its all-too-frequent sequence of lumbago and sciatic trouble; so I’m still wasting these loveliest days of the year, and my dearest and warmest friend is an electric pad! But I’m mending; I always do.

I presume that you will return by November first and plan to send the material then, with explanations, etc. Very truly yours, Flora Bullock
