Please forgive me that although deeply touched by your gift I have delayed so long in responding. In addition to my bowel disease which has been oppressing me for two years came a cold and cystitis. I was very weak and exhausted. Since I got the Lord Mother of God both of these unbearable [?] and chronic illnesses have improved. I am in full convalescence and, having Her constantly in the studio in my sight, I will try to keep my promise as soon as possible. I warmly squeeze your hand and express my sincere friendship.
