by Gertrude Stein (1874 - 1946)

Letter to Freddy
Language: English 
My dear Freddy,
I did not answer sooner because being a
little troubled about you I wanted to see
Harry first. Now I have and as it seems that
you are really not well don't you think it
would be best to come to Paris where you
can be looked after, and then we all can
decide what you ought to do. You poor
boy, it's bad to be all alone and I do think
that you had better come here, don't you?
Always,
Gertrude Stein
