"This is simply to extend to you greetings and to say that last week I had the privilege of a visit from your sister. She is indeed brilliant and charming. So sorry I cannot see you occasionally at least." The recipient Henry Grady Porter (1889-1942) was a white peanut plant operator, and a longtime friend of Carver.
