My dear Miss Fletcher,
Yours of April 28th just rec'd.  I regret to hear you have been ill; but I am not surprised.  You were in no condition to resist disease when you left the East.  I think you were, if possible, more fatigued than I was.
You acknowledge letters, music and books, but not my Country article, which I sent about two weeks ago.  I hope it is not lost.  I have a duplicate type-written copy, besides the original M.S. but I wanted [[underline]] you [[/underline]] to send in the copy, after editing it if you think it necessary.  I am anxious to know whether it pleased you and whether you like my selections for illustration.  Please write me just a word as soon as you have examined it.  I think it must have reached you
