Letters

I would like to discuss Porters letter to Glenway Wescott on page 153. Porter has just finished writing “Pale Horse, Pale Rider” and now she sits down to write this letter. In the letter she explains this wonderful feeling which she feels. Is this feeling a result of her newly finished story? or has the story reminded her of her own survival leaving her with a fresh and fantastic feeling? Towards the end of the letter she mentions her editor’s response to “Pale Horse, Pale Rider”, which is rather interesting as well.
