Summary
Replying how much she enjoyed her letter; writing that has nothing but work to talk about and is on the home stretch with a new story, which is running the same length as "Alexander" and is "certainly a great deal better than The bohemian girl"; asking if she read Chekhov's "The cherry orchard"; expressing that there are too many things she wants to write, but she is too distracted by Christmas, people, and her story.
