Summary
Saying that she is happy to hear that he is interested in "29 Inventions," but asking what he means by "making a perhaps 'unfair' comparison w/ the Triquarterly story?" and that she doesn't think they are too much alike; confessing that she doesn't think about her old stories once they are published; adding that if he would like to suggest cuts, like eliminating the final sentence, then she is happy to make them.
