2 page typed letter on both sides of a single sheet of Zane Grey's embossed letterhead.

Dolly Grey's response to having heard the news from Romer that Zane Grey had suffered a stroke: "I just can't get this through my head. Dad has been up to snuff all this time, hasn't he? There is no family history to account for a stroke of any kind, that I know of. Has he gotten excited about anything around there? Eaten unwisely?...Well there's not much use in speculating about it. I am so distressed I feel as if I could drop dead myself. It just can't be true. It's some little thing he'll get over. I always figured Dad would be fishing when he was ninety AND HE WILL." Signed 'Mother'.
