Greenwood, Mississippi
Dear Miss Chatham:
Thank you for your very nice letter.
I was glad to hear that you consider me a desirable relative, but I am sorry to disappoint you, because Rand is only my pen name; so we are not related.
We can still be friends, however, and I am glad that you liked LOVE LETTERS.
Sincerely,
Ayn Rand
