Summary: 

Responding that she has to go to New York on business next week and has been busy, but not with thrilling activities; talking about her new line of reading--directories of American cities; adding that when she is "old and gray and full of sleep" she will read nothing but directories; stating that tonight is Isabelle's sister, Edith's wedding, and Mr. McClure arrives tomorrow; sending her more notices from the Post, Nation, Athenaeum, and Clement Shorter's article for his paper.
