Unfortunately the phone message has voice over in the middle:
"Hi, this is Harper Lee speaking. I'm calling Mrs. Underwood's reading class. I was calling in response to a very kind letter, including a brochure about... some reading of Mockingbird in ... January ... I suppose. And I'm delighted to receive this information and the brochure and the letter. And I wish you all very very good luck with all your endeavors.
I wouldn't be able ... I was given an invitation to be with you, but of course my age and my infirmity forbid me from traveling too much. But thank you so very much all of you... bye bye."
