(Ed. Note: The following letter was sent to the Bryant Library and is printed here at the author's request.)

Like many other people, I went "sailing along" in reasonably good health and then whoops - I found myself homebound.

One of the joys I missed a great deal was getting to the library.

The above problem was solved, however, by the caring volunteers from the Bryant Library of Roslyn. These considerate people give of their time and energy to supply me with books whenever they are needed.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
