Dear Art:1 It is wonderful news that you are now allowed to write your own letters. This visible evidence of your progress cheers me enormously. The possibility that you will be able to leave the hospital by the first of April is most encouraging--but I do want to caution you that having gone so far and so successfully in your treatment, you simply must not be allowed to rush this business.
Mamie and I live here in comfort and tradition--and almost complete isolation from our old and dear friends. I'll have to see you to really tell you about it. We hope to be able to break away for a few days soon, although to a great measure this goldfish bowl existence follows us wherever we are.
She joins me in love to Ann, and of course, warm regard to you, As ever
P.S. Please write me whenever you feel up to it.
