Biographically significant letter to Mr. Johnansen: „It was wonderful to get your most kind letter. I assure you there isn’t an author in the whole world who doesn’t like to know that his work has given pleasure and entertainment. It is indeed a reward for all the long lonely hours of sitting at a typewriter, often wondering if what one has to say is of any value at all. Thank you very much. Now I must aks your forgiveness for having taken so long to reply. Your letter arrived while I was engaged in the final chapters of a book -- and at times like that, ony the most necessary correspondance is attended to -- and sometimes not even that.
Since the book was finished I have been travelling a good deal, and am only now back in New York, taking up the pieces of normal live again. […]“ - With a holograph postscript: „Congratulations on your English! I wish that I were as fluent in another language.“ - In 1960 she finished Corporation Wife..
