In April she wrote from Mandarin: "I am painting a Magnolia grandiflora, which I will show you.... I am appalled by finding myself booked to read. But I am getting well and strong, and trust to be equal to the emergency. But I shrink from Tremont Temple, and does not think I can fill it. On the whole I should like to begin in Boston."

So you may be assured that I feel most sensibly your kind attention, and send you my heartfelt thanks for remembering me.
