Summary
Replying that Sergeant is a sport to go fishing with Greenslet; describing Henry James's latest book, "Brothers and Son" (Notes of a Son and Brother, 1914), as too mannered, with too little substance, to be worth reading; hearing from Greenslet that Sergeant is not going to marry a cubist after all--he seems to have taken the joke seriously; saying that she is glad to be away from New York and will probably go visit Fremstad in Maine some time in June; adding that she is not pushing herself and is enjoying the weather and resting a lot.
