Dear Esther and Josh:

We are personally very happy to learn
officially what we had already heard
unofficially--that you come to Stanford
after another year. With visions of what
Verne has told me of Madison's winters,
I trust that this coming one you will
greet every dawn with the proper shiver,
so that they may be ineffaceably traced
upon that inward eye of memory when you
join us here in enjoying this region--or
when some January you are faced with the
low fog that is sometimes several inches
deep.

Meanwhile, have fun: I would just like
to run across your track in Italy.

AS ever,

WHF : mc
