Discussing their mutual friend (Lafcadio Hearn), noting that he is "a little obtuse in regard to friendship," and that he is "an architect who devises castles in the air, and does not know of the rock foundations that are eternal." Discussing a box of books to be sent from her cousin, an "author of some merit," for Hearn.
