Summary
Writing that she came up to Wyoming two weeks ago from New Mexico and describes the scenery; trying to advise her on where to go in the west and that Taos is probably best; saying that she will be going to Red Cloud in two weeks to see her mother; commenting how she hasn't done any work because she's been doing more interesting things, but she suspects if she stopped long enough, she would feel like writing; adding that she sold the long Nordica story to McClures just before she left New York for a "very fat price."
