light wear. In these two letters dated February 1956, Daniel B. Bianchi writes to “Dear Charles,” apologizing for delays in correspondence and sharing updates on both personal and literary matters. He sends Charles a copy of Ruth Painter Randall’s Lincoln’s Sons as a gift and expresses gratitude for receiving Waltham, Past and Present by Charles A. Nelson, which he and his mother both enjoyed, particularly due to its connections to their family history. Bianchi discusses his challenges in completing Russell’s book and reveals plans for a significant life change—moving to New York to take up a position with a banking company, a decision he hopes will be positive. He provides updates on his parents’ health, noting their resilience despite challenges, and concludes both letters with warm expressions of gratitude and good wishes.
