(seq. 78)

May it help somehow to ease
All the sorrow that you bear
Just to know how much your friends
Deeply sympathize and care
May the cherished memories
that are in your heart today
Help sustain and comfort you
All along your future way

Dear Dr Van Waters

So happy to hear from
you - what is senator Lo Presti - trying
to do - headlines in Boston American
[hurt?] Sherborn Secret Parole Files
Is the [Deberedetts?], friends of his - what
does he want - does he want you to put
a whipping post at Sherborn - terrible
he ought not to get away with it
Lo Presti ought to be taken for slander
I wish I could do something
I was talking to one of the
librarians yesterday, a little
in the globe to, I hope
you are well
Your Friend
Bessie

P.S If Lo Presti
can prevent people
from Committing suicide
he will be a
wonderful man
