Dear Lucy-Ruth,
you should only know what warmth this comment brought to me as I
tonight got up the courage to even read my bananafish-mails again, I
haven't done so for quite some time due to the feeling of inferiority
you mention. Thank you eversomuch for your kind and thoughtful words,
I appreciate them immensely. Perhaps what has lead me to believe my
comments are of a much baser level than the rest of your's is that I
am a foreginer, a mere university student of English almost devoid of
scholastic confidence.
Maybe I will dare read this list in the future now, thanks again
Lucy-Ruth.... :)
Hugs, Sofia.
