She sees loneliness as a unique disease. Malady means disease. The other question you might ask is does she see it as curable at some point? The answer to that is very difficult and yet very simple.
Most authors when they write about social qualities around them, see the world (or the part they live in) gripped in and strangled by the problem they are writing about.
McCullers wrote the Heart is a Lonely Hunter in 1940 just before America's entry into WWII. America had just come out of a depression, the worst on record since America became a nation. There is good reason to believe that loneliness and isolation of people was a serious problem.
That feeling, up until Pearl Harbor, was reflected in America's Foreign Policy. Most people did not want to become involved. The term used was isolation.
There are open studies on the internet that show that marriages were in a decline for WWI to WWII and then spiked in the 1950 to the highest level in American history since these stats were tracked. I am recording this to show that McCullers thought that the hardships of life sometimes mold our attitudes towards others.

Dear Mrs/Mr. (insert name),
How are you today?
I am so honored that you have my best interests at heart and that you chose to recommend this wonderful boarding school for me, however I prefer the school I am currently going to as of right now and here's why.
First off, the teachers here are really great, and I feel like I am in a safe environment. I can ask my teachers for help on concepts i don't quite understand and expect great answers. In, addition, this school is close to home, which means that, god forbid, something happened to me or a close relative, I can be picked up within moments notice. My parents wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to get me out of school, for the simpler matters either, like a doctor's appointment. And lastly, I can go to school with people that I know and am comfortable with. Changing schools halfway through high school can be tough for kids my age, who have grown up with the same people around them.
So I hope I have convinced you of the benefits of going to the school I already go to and I hope you understand that I am very grateful to have a person like you who has my best interests at heart.
Sincerely,
