TLS signed “Tom,” one page, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter to Jim, in full: “A well-deserved feeling of shame has made me hesitant about asking you if you’d be willing to occupy the house when I set forth on my long journey to the Orient, by way of Texas and such diverse stops as New York and London. Tony Smith’s widow, Jane, and her daughter Bebe will be staying here till about Jan. 17th but after that time we have as yet found no one to move in after they leave and I can’t bring myself to give the creatures away, or put them in a kennel. As you know, they include Topaze, Cornelius, and a very funny new parrot, Juanita—the old one Lorito has departed for the great aviary in the sky. If you or Stell—I mean and/or Stell—can’t take over, perhaps you now of some truly responsible person that could. Do you know the new telephone number here? It is 4–1430. Since we’re leaving this Thursday for Texas—I am entering a hospital briefly under Texas Kate’s supervision—do please drop by or call to discuss all this.” In very good condition, with wrinkles and intersecting folds.
