8919 146th Street Edmonton AB T5R Ov7 April 30 1991 Tel : ( 403_483 9308 ) Dear Lawrence , I sent you My Life and Dancing yesterday , and now send you the one letter that I think might fit in with the text , " as is . " " That dance " is NOT , as I originally thought , The Vision which Maud hadn't yet performed . ( Could it have been the Marche funebre ? ) Anyway , I send it along for your own interest and leave it up to you to add as you see fit . It strikes me as relevant to her status in November 1905 , to the emotional intensity of her visit to SF in 1910 , and to her mother's native brilliancy to recall a whole conversation after two weeks not to mention the emotional thrall she exercised over her daughter . ( As I record in The Salome Dancer , according to my aunt the only person to whom Maud Allan was NEVER unkind was her mother .... I haven't DID SHE DANCE here with me , so don't know where it might fit in best . I send you this from here , however , as material from Fort McMurray ( " whither " I return next Sunday ) takes so long to get to you . I will be back here on May 27 , the day before the publication day of the Salome Dancer . Please let me know what happens with the CFH Publisher's Grant . Henry Kreisel , the " soul " of the University and , indeed , of Alberta , died last week of Cancer of the , pancreas . He was a very special human being , even though I did not know him well . He did write to Alberta culture on my behalf , very probably the very last letter of that kind he wrote , as it now appears he had just been advised that he was fatally ill . I had so looked forward to giving him a copy of The Salome Dancer ; instead , I wrote a letter of condolence to his wife . -
