Dear Ms. Van Antwerp,

Thank you for your note regarding Lonesome Dove. It seems that book has meant something to a good many people, and in ways I didn’t even forsee, but I will say there was something in your letter I thought was interesting, that hurting my characters takes courage. That was interesting.

You’re right what you said about the trouble it is to make it through life, but here we are, so I guess we’ve outsmarted something. I’m sure you’re not as old as me, though. My bookstore is really more of a book town. If you do end up visiting, let me know, and I’ll be sure to meet you in person.

All the best, and Merry Christmas,

Larry
