Summary
"Gwen, I hope everything is well. It's been some time since I have written. There have been many things going on in my life, so many that I would mention them in this letter. One of the most exciting has been the anthology which I am sending. / I hope you will enjoy it and if you have any free time comment on it. / I'm sorry this is such a brief letter. / With love, James (Jamé) Gist."
