I treasure this because of how hard I laughed after I read it. From her collected letters in The Habit of Being.
The latest [letter] came from a Mr. Semple of Cincinnati who has not read anything of mine but doesn't really see how I can say a good man is hard to find. He is an industrial engineer, likes to play bridge, is the active type, 31 years old, single etc. etc. I wrote Mr. Semple that I didn't think I'd like him a bit but he would be crazy about me as I had seven gold teeth and weighed 250 pounds.
