Summary
Expressing that she can't remember if she ever wrote about Elizabeth's mother's surgery; responding that she has been at Grand Manan, off the coast of New Brunswick, at the house she and Miss Lewis have there; saying that she expects to go to Quebec in a few weeks and that it has been a hard year; writing that she likes the essay on herself in Whipple's book Spokesmen (R.K. Whipple, Spokesmen: Modern Writers and American Life, 1928), which has a fine essay on Henry Adams; sending her greetings to her mother; (in postscript) adding that she likes Thornton Wilder's new book (probably The bridge of San Luis Rey, 1927).
