O'Connor's letter to A on pg 1205

I would like to talk about how O'Connor describes dealing with lupus as she does in this letter to A. It might also be interesting to A, Betty Hester. The two wrote over 300 letters to each other, and OC became BH's spiritual confirmation sponsor to Catholicism, but by 1958 (they met in 1955) BH left the church for agnosticism. I would like to see if evidence of tension in their friendship appears at the religious split or at the end of OC's life when she knows her lupus is killing her....
