Dear Miss Bates,

Many thanks for your kind contribution to my pomological education, which had been strangely neglected. The package was welcome and pleasant. Before long I hope you will have dinner with me in town, and perhaps some sort of show. The proofs of "Matthias" will be coming in a few days, and I hope they won't make me sad that you won't want to see me.

Yours sincerely

E.A. Robinson

[in upper right corner, in a hand not Robinson's, "May 17 1930" is written in pencil, and beneath the address "[May 17, 1930]" is written in pencil in a hand also neither Robinson's nor that of the preceding annotation]
