It's very sweet of you to say I've helped to make your vacation a pleasant one, and I'm sorry that school starts soon and you won't be able to listen! Indeed, I do remember playing in Danville, and it's nice to know that I had the pleasure of performing for you. Many thanks for your good wishes and please let me hear from you once in a while, even though you aren't able to hear the program, because you are the type of woman with whom I like to keep in touch.
