Summary
Stating that she is glad she likes the new book (Shadows on the rock), since many do not; writing the word "shadows" in the title should have given them some indication of the intent; talking about how she has enjoyed summer at Grand Manan, but will leave toward the end of September and go to California to see her mother; mentioning that Isabelle (McClung) and Jan (Hambourg) have been to Brussels; adding that she has lost track of Ethel Litchfield.
