I am not trying to say "thank you". for your book and for your kindness in remembering to send it to me, for I should only bungle the thing, but I do want you to know that I truly appreciate them both. Of course there is a pang in thinking how my father would have delighted in reading it aloud, but I ought instead to thank you for all the joyous evenings you gave him with your other two books. He could scarcely wait until we had forgotten your short stories enough to decently read them over again. Yours very gratefully Mildred Howells
