  I am still struggling to live without my Duke & am trying to stay here in my house.  It is not easy.  But, I am doing better.  I bought myself a little pup.  He will be six months old next week & he barks.  I have a dog, six years, but she doesn't bark & I have been scared here at night alone.   Somehow, now it is better.
    Have a good trip to Columbia.  I'll let you know when I get my book.
    Stay well, Jack     Take care.     Love    Mary Ellen

I save your letters, Jack. Always have.
