by Erica James
Since there is no one else I know who would be remotely interested in my photograph albums, or the bundles of letters I’ve kept all these years, I’m leaving them to you too. If they become a burden to you, then you have my permission to destroy them.
Thank you again for your friendship and kindness. I wish you a long and fulfilled life.
With fondest best wishes,
Clarissa Dallimore
