Transcription
Your letter about my book was especially grateful. To know that you like my settings is a substantial comfort. I had worked on the handbook so long that when it was done I felt almost as if my usefulness [was?] over, but the work that after all I like best, and had put aside for it, was on the country itself, so it is peculiarly comforting to have you feel that I have something left to say. How to say itto interest nature [lovers?] in general, and yet get in the wayside science that I want in is the difficult question.We were all taken by [storm?] by your grand canyon article. I am thankful that you have done it. No one else could have expressed the canyon.Mr. Bailey joins me in hearty New Year wishes to you all,Yours sincerely,Florence M. Bailey
