New York City

Dear Arthur and Totsie,

I tried to reach you by phone but there was no answer, and it is just as well, for I do not think I could bear to hear the sound of your voices.

By the time we reached New York my precious Robin, who had left Dallas with an undiagnosed illness, was delirious with fever. Fortunately my brother-in-law had taken a train down from Vermont and was waiting for us at the station. We went straight to the hospital where I learned Robin was suffering from spinal meningitis.

At my insistence Manning has taken the other two children to the farm. There is nothing any of them can do here and my suffering is only augmented by seeing it reflected in their eyes.

Though I cannot witness your wedding in person, all my good wishes will attend you. I know you will find joy and solace in each other’s presence even in moments of pain and sorrow. Until now I could not admit how much I envied you. Forgive me.

Bess
