Dear Jack,

Your letter lifted me from my listlessness, I have been sinking into quiet days just looking at the mountains I love forgetting that once I was working in clay from 7:00 am in the morning until the middle of the night.

I wish I could see the exhibit but as I can only now barely take 5 steps at a time, it's too much of a procedure to ask others to see that I'm dressed properly, then get into a wheel chair and from the wheel chair into a car and then back into the wheel chair and all the while my mind thinking about nothing but young men.

However this is not a complaint for I'm enjoying perhaps the happiest time of my life (except when I was kissed by a man I love). For mentally I'm active drawing and writing and meeting delightful friends.

Yours for chocolate eclairs,
Beatrice
