Ann's Letters Ann's transcription of Fanny's manuscript Emma's
Letter to Ann
Confused about Fanny? |
Dear Emma,
I just got word from Amy-she's had her baby a few weeks early and asked if I could come out and stay with her for awhile. Everything is fine--she had a little girl, and both are doing well. I'm flying out this afternoon, and should be away for at least a week-- maybe more. James is in the States on business, so he's heading back shortly as well, but I can certainly get there more quickly than he can. What news of the Stoney Grove manuscript do you have to share? Have you found it yet? I've continued transcribing, and am dying to read the rest. I've invited a few folks in Puckering out to visit--nothing formal--but an open invitation to Chester and the Rev. Banks. Can you let them know that I'm away for awhile so that if they try to get in touch with me they'll know why I haven't answered? I'm hoping once you find the manuscript you can come out with it. Maybe you could coordinate a trip with them. My house isn't that big, but there's room for a few people, and Doug's offered his house for visitors as well. He's anxious to meet all of you--I've filled his head with gossip about Puckering for the past few months and he's curious to meet some actual residents. If you need anything, Doug can probably get word to me. Amy doesn't have email (or a phone), but everyone knows who she is and if you call the police station or one of the hotels they can get word out to me. I'm looking forward to hearing the latest... Ann P.S. Sorry if this is all over the place. We went to a jump-up last night and I'm not
sure I'm sober yet. It was a blast! |
