Dear Allen:
Am most distressed to hear you can't get
down here but will certainly hold you to a visit
next fall. In the meantime will have to carry
on without your inspiring presence.
Please be sure to give my regards to
whom I've known for a long time and who
was down here for a short time this winter.
