Praise be to God. I feel like I have been well and truly saved. I have been suffering terribly since Miss King gave up her NR column, left Virginia, and moved to (horror of horrors) the area of Seattle, Washington. Florence and I were born about the same time and grew up in the same area, in families that taught similar lessons on living one's life, but we knew not one another. When I discovered her writings in NR some years ago, I obtained and read just about every book that she had written. I discovered a friendly spirit. The withdrawal pains since she stopped writing on a regular basis have been severe. (I am a closet misanthrope myself) It is my sincere hope that the gentle lady has become sufficiently bored that she will return to something like regular communication of her thoughts in the pages of journals that I read.
