User-Contributed Transcription that your daughter had died.

I feel bad about it, too, because I know (or, rather, can imagine) how words [ underlined: real, of course] could help. The first time death came in the close family, I wasn't even told (but I underlined: Knew ), much less consoled by words or gesture; the second time, I was literally chased out of the house, and, again, underlined: no one but no one thought (and, worse, underlined: felt ) that I had suffered a dreadful, heart-and-soul-wrenching loss. Since that time I've tried to write or say or do when someone dies. - Do you know what I mean?
How is Mrs. Conroy feeling? Well, I hope, by now. How're your memoirs, Jack? what chapter? Can't you sell a course to the illustrious U. of Mo-Columbia? Maybe even a canned one? What's the underlined: matter with the people there? An M&C/ high school? Are they courting you? Hell, [[underlined: they] can get the underlined: Arts Council support too, anytime they want it. Surely Ms. Leon Bell (underlined: his. dpt./Engl/) knows that. See you. Best, Ata Munroe
