Williams’s wife, Florence, wrote the following reply to “This Is Just to Say”:
couple of sandwiches for you.
In the ice-box you’ll find
blue-berries—a cup of grapefruit
On the stove is the tea-pot
for you to make tea if you
prefer—Just light the gas—
boil the water and put it in the tea
Plenty of bread in the bread-box
I didn’t know just what to
make for you. Several people
called up about office hours—
See you later. Love. Floss.
Please switch off the telephone.
