osity. We are so touched by the Bpirit that has 

 prompted this whole thing, that we positively have 

 to swallow hard every time we think of it. These 

 dear people, all of whom are of moderate means, wish 

 ing to help the Guild in this way seems to me 

 unparalleled. As a testimony, and as an illustra- 

 tion of the spirit of our Guild, it seems but another 

 example of similar acts that have been done in the 

 past, though never perhaps under circumstances that 

 seemed so spectacular. 



I know that you, with your keen sympathy 

 and appreciation of the beautiful and worth while, 

 will not fail to understand how this has touched me 

 deeply. It is quite one of the most beautiful 

 experiences, of all the very many beautiful experi- 

 ences the Guild has brought me. 



I have dictated a longer letter than I 

 anticipated and I hope it will not tire you in read- 

 ing. I would love dearly to see you if you feel 

 like coming in sometime. I go out to walk twice a 

 day for fifteen or twenty minutes. A stenographer 

 comes frequently to help me with my work, but it 

 would be most easy to arrange for a meeting with you 

 at any time convenient to yourself. 



Trusting that you are well, and thanking you 

 again for your message, with love as always,
