Letter from John G. Neihardt to Bower Aly, February 22, 1962

Feb. 22, '62 Dear Bower:

Many thanks for the Emerald article about Lucile's lecture. I know it was a fine thing. It could not be less. I wish I could have [hearrd?] heard.

I was in So Dakota (the University) most of last week. They kept me going, and the response was exciting. I met a number of people who know you either personally or by reputation.

We had 17 inches of snow the last two days of my visit, and for awhile it seemed I was caught. But by Monday P. M. the runways at Soo City were cleared, and I got back in time for my Tuesday classes.

I don't write to you very often, but I do often think of you — always with affection.

John N.
