Toklas, Alice B., 1877-1967

"I still think of you coming into the sitting room in Paris to tell Gertrude Stein what you shouldn't have told her...."

"How wonderful to hear from you! You did so much for Gertrude and she was very careful not to make any of what you told her known- even to me..."

"Dear Sir, Miss Gertrude Stein desires me to say that for the present she does not contemplate readings from her work for records..."

"Thank you for remembering me and writing to me. Gertrude was repeatedly asking me why doesn't Jack Dobbin write..."

"What a wholly delightful Christmas card. The Infant Jesus and the black sheep and the quite too lovely handkerchief- How very kind it was of you to send me these..."

"How kind you are to say you think of me- and to remember me with such a charming gift. I am very touched and thank you many many times..."

"Pray pardon my far too long delay in thanking warmly for your charming card and its good wishes and the lovely handkerchiefs. Have you not already been scolded for your continious attentions to me..."

"Of course I will be delighted to see your friends and to have news of you - but you can't half fancy how much more pleasure it would be for me if you were accompanying them...."

"You are kind to remember me as you do so faithfully. If you will permit a great familiarity- I will tell you..."

"It was good of you to write me about the show in Baltimore and horrid of me not to have thanked you long ago for having done so..."
