Dear Edith-- I am delighted to have The Satyr's Children with its very nice inscription. My unclear thanks go to you. The fable? is lovely and I have read it with a real glow. I am sure you have received many kind letters about it and I hope you will follow it with others as beautifully symbolic. May I, in return, enclose a letter which may be of interest to you. After you have read it, I hope you will kindly return it. Some day perhaps my long deferred "opus" may see the light of day and it may contain the letter or a story about it. As you see, it is almost ancient history and perhaps I should not remind a charming young lady that her writings began as deep in the past. But I hope we both will admit there is something of the spirit? of the Satyr's children in us and that we can stop? our fingers at unclear And I remember too, when you attended the Mark Twain dinner at Delmonico's and sat by William Dean Howells! With my best good wishes always -- John T McCutcheon
