Letters To Mary, Wrapping Up Her Book: Small Acts Of Great Kindness

by Jon Katz
“This Time Of Life”

We went to see Mary Kellogg at the  Holbrook Adult Home, (73 North Street, Granville, N.Y., 12832) she is recovering from a broken hip and working hard to get home. We brought her the final proofs for her fourth book, “This Is My Life,” Maria and I are publishing it together.

Mary look good, she is still using a walker and sees  her doctor tomorrow, she is hopeful of getting  home, she doesn’t know if it will be possible. While we were there, Mary took out a box of your letters and read them to us. She loves getting them, she hopes to get more.

She is also very excited about her new book, her fourth volume of poetry, she plans to read  some of her poems at our October, Columbus Day Weekend Open House. Mary looked great today, we were both shocked when she hopped over to the bed, sat down and pulled herself up against the wall.

We had a sweet visit, when Mary got tired, we left. (I fell asleep myself for five minutes, the room was warm and I was tired. Maria laughed and woke me up.

If you wish, please feel free to write Maria, she sometimes get bored and loves to read you messages and letters. She has gotten quite a few, and thanks. Mary Kellogg, Room 2 C,  73 North Street, Granville, N.Y., 12832
