Agreeing to Edward Wagenknecht's request to use her sister Mary Johnston's "Added Space" in a collection of ghost stories; praising his article ["The World and Mary Johnston"] in the Sewannee Review[April-June 1936] as "the most understanding appreciation she [Mary] ever had of her mystic experience and interest"; saying she has done little with Mary's diaries; thanking him for dedicating his book Cavalcade of the American Novelto Mary; saying she has given Mary's literary papers to the University of Virginia; discussing her own biography of Mary, thanking Wagenknecht for agreeing to read it, wondering why it has been rejected by so many publishers when biographies of other women writing at the same time (Willa Cather, Ellen Glasgow) have been published recently; concerning Wagenknecht's plan to write the biography himself; and noting why Mary left Houghton Mifflin. With a letter from Carl Brandt, of Brandt and Brandt, Mary Johnston's literary executors, giving Elizabeth's Johnston's address.
