To Richard Ford

At this moment, Ray is recovering from a nasty cold that morphed into pneumonia without our somehow noticing . . .

Much love to both,

Joyce

To Leigh Bienen

Ray is recovering—slowly—from a severe pneumonia that began as a bad cold . . .

Much love to both,

Joyce

To Gloria Vanderbilt

Ray’s condition improves—worsens—improves—worsens—I have almost given up having responses to it. But the doctors say that over all he is definitely improving—it’s just that the pneumonia is so virulent, through most of one lung.

(I know little of infectious diseases, but am learning rapidly.)

Love

Joyce
