Description
Autograph letter signed. Tells that she tries to give him what she wants from him - intimate, private thoughts between them, but she gets from him names of people he has seen and talked with. Says she clings to the memory of when they took the vow to cherish “just this”. Tells him she wouldn’t want to live life without poetry - “not something you read, but something you live.” Says Bill is there and “has no room for others in his loving yet.” Says Win is hurt and that she [Nell] is hoping for a miracle.
