Summary
Replying how she hates this paper, but bought too much and needs to use it up on people who know the worst of her; requesting that she send the correspondence school novel along when it's ready; saying how she's not writing much these days, but promised an article to McClure's about the Metropolitan ballet, and they are now requesting it, so she needs to write it this week, despite no dancers or trainers around to talk to; adding how the notices are "simply too good" and asks if she can send her some of the best ones; hoping to see her in October since she is going to Virginia with Isabelle (McClung) for September.
