CORNING, NEW YORK, 1935

My dear Mr. Kantor:

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your story The Voice of Bugle Ann. I have been interested in your success since your father made me one of his victims to the amount of six thousand dollars. I have in my possession your book Long Remember he inscribed as follows: “I hope you will enjoy reading this book of my son’s as much as I enjoy giving it to you, John Kantor.”

At the time I thought that inscription described in a few words the type of man I believed your father to be—kindly, generous, and extremely proud of his son’s success. It was his fondness for books and garden and his pride in you that inspired my confidence and it has been the most cruel thing that anyone has ever done to me—to find that a man who appeared to be a friend of our whole family had deliberately robbed me of nearly everything I owned in the way of securities. The title of your book, Long Remember, has turned out to be so sadly significant.

Since then I have read every story you have written. I want you to know that there is a woman in Corning who will read each new publication with interest but with a little stab of pain as well.
