2 Perhaps you never received my letter thanking you for the Boyhood book, and telling you that I had been so anxious to
read it that I had been pestering the book-dealers for weeks had succeeded in getting one some days before Mr. Vroman received
the consignment in which were the copies for my sister-in-law myself. I had already read the book, with the greatest interest,
and had shed tears over some of 3 your hard times. I read it in a day could not put it down until it was finished. You
wrote me asking if Mrs. Kellogg I had received copies from Vroman's, and I went to them, discovering the books had just arrived.
My sister was, of course, wonderfully pleased, I am sure she must have written. I know it was her intention to write at once.
When you are again in Pasadena, we hope you will write your name
