Summary
Saying how friends must get tired of her writing book after book, but they aren't all alike; replying how she was in Wyoming this summer, unable to go abroad because of father's illness and has moved out of Bank Street; expressing that she is enjoying being in Jaffrey, but wishes she still had the pleasure of working on something like "Archbishop," which she finished there last year; adding that it's hard, losing that pleasure and losing Bank Street at the same time.
