Summary
Asking after her health and saying how much she enjoyed seeing them, noting that, as always, the meeting inspired her to write poetry; apologizing for not having written sooner, noting that she suffered a terrible accident on the train (her bed was not hooked up correctly, and she was thrown from it and pinned under it for what felt like a century); thanking her and Kenneth for sending a copy of "In a Great Tradition."
