Dear Grace and Grandma --
I don't know how to tell you what a pleasure it was to be so well remembered at Easter. The only one to share the delicacies, so far, has been Sam -- but it's just as well -- as I would like to make them last as long as possible. We spent a good part of yesterday together -- having breakfast, a long walk after which he retired for a nap and then came over to my room at tea time. The socks and cravat have not arrived yet although I may find them waiting for me on the table when I get home tonight. I hope you had a pleasant day -- and if it was as fine weather as we had here you must surely have had a spin through the country.
I have been able to lift my head with a little more calm and cheer since a week of almost sanitarium regime -- going to bed early and what is better, sleeping soundly again. I have been letting the dreams of voyages etc. subside for awhile under the illusion (for illusion I suspect it to be), that my book may appear by next fall and that is advisable for me to stick around and correct proofs etc. My printer is proving to be even slower than I expected, and I am at present trying to put the book into the hands of a regular publisher. Waldo Frank is going to do what he can to influence Boni + Liveright, his publisher, to make the investment. But, all this is a little late
