Summary
Thanking her for her heartening letter; replying that she has been out of bandages for five weeks; saying that she went to Atlantic City for a few days and to visit Mrs (Clara) Davidge-Taylor on Staten Island and got sidetracked from her story (Song of the lark); commenting that she is back to writing and is focusing on the mechanics and politics of the opera; mentioning that she likes the Hoyts (Alice and Henry); writing that she is leaving for Pittsburgh on May 5th, but if her time is extended, then she will stay until the 10th to see her; wishing the events in Mexico would settle down so she can explore the buried cities.
