Dear Elizabeth,
I was so sorry to hear the news about Macon. He had been part of our poetry group in the past and had added a great deal to it, as you did also with your wonderful fruit dishes. As one who was born in 1920 also, I feel Macon's loss with a special poignancy. Please know that you have my deepest sympathy and love.
