"Dear Gloria:

Thanks for the birthday card and for your letter of September 12. I had a wonderful birthday and really appreciate your remembering it.

I was so sorry to hear of your mother's death. Having lost my mother, I understand the depth of loss you feel and can only hope you will be comforted--as I have been--by the love and support of your family and friends.

I also appreciate your sharing your thoughts about welfare reform, abortion, and the separation of church and state. As always, I value your insight and am glad you took the time to let me know how you feel. Your candor means a lot to me, as does your continuing support for our efforts here.

Thanks, again, for writing. I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton"
