Summary
A touching letter on the death of Young's nephew, and sending thanks for a copy of his Feliciana. She also comments on Martha Graham's 1935 performances at Bennington: "I was [impressed] by the abstraction of her dances, by the submergence of the personal and individual, as displayed in the mask-like faces of the dancers. We all wondered if in Americans there wasn't some compensation taking place in the choice of such a form of dance. After all we are rather a mixed race, a highly excitable one, with some violence in us . . . We are betraying our emotion; we are losing the power of communicating naturally the beautiful features in human beings-our self-consciousness is corking up our feelings."
