This letter was in the envelope with Kathleen's letter to Will from that day:
Le Renard et les raisins: The Fox and the grapes.
Bravo to Billy for spelling Cincinnati correctly!
It seems to me that at this point nobody has told Billy yet that his beloved grandmother has died. I suppose there's no hurry.
