In part: "Delighted that you were not disappointed. The point is that I hope it gave you some impetus to sit down and write a book or a screenplay. I'm down here still convalescing…Just been rereading Stendhal's phrase: 'Ecrivez tous les jours pendant deux heures, genie ou non [Write every day for two hours, genius or not]." In fine condition. Wilder would pass away the next year at age 78.
