Dear [Wasau?] Humanities [?]
All Three of you:

How can I thank you for your time and for your graciousness!!

Maybe someday I will find a way to give the three of

you an hour or so of my life in return!!

Mrs. Young, you did leave a long of surprises for me. I now have a whole display of Neihardt in my library and in May, will, as usual,

send my collection to the library here for their "poetry month." I—so graciously— thank each one of you — and also the lamb with a [countenance?], who made me know I was really welcome Here.

In May [3rd, 2:00 p.m., Joslyn Museum Lecture Hall] my second poetry show is being presented. I would be so honored, if the three of you might come. Will see that you receive a formal invitation later.

In the meantime, know

that I parted from you — full of human warmth and inspiration and very proud to be the possessor of three Neihardt kisses!!

[I am collecting them; I keep them in a hidden place — near the poetic heart]!!

Incidentally — if you would like to have a driver in May, I will select some very special human to pick up and to return you.

Best warmly,

Sissie Newton
