Summary
Responding to his query about her work, noting that it is "nothing that interests me very deeply; something rather dry and hard;" remarking that the book was "pretty well planned out" but that the winter "has been full of changes and troubles," and referencing the "loss of old friends by death and even marriage" [Samuel A. McClung and his daughter Isabelle, respectively]. Hoping that she "may have some progress to report" if he visits that spring.
