Summary
Asking that he "cut off any more plans for adding a guest house"; telling him that she "stand[s] ready" to "leave at any time upon request"; stating that she will "seek out an alternative" place to live because she "cannot and need not live in an atmosphere of hostility"; saying that she "honestly [had] been thinking that the proposed guest-house would add to the intrinsic value of the Ranch."
