Dearest Barbara
I bless you for all your goodness to me, but I am a bruised creature, and shrink even from the tenderest touch. As soon as I feel able to see anybody I will see you. Please give my love to Bessie and thank her for me -- I mean, for her sweet letter. It was a long while before I read any letters, but tell her I shall read hers again and again.
Your loving but half dead
Marian.
