Showing her shock after hearing about Sergeant's accident and that Ferris Greenslet didn't write her about it; replying that she is seeing a lot of returning soldiers and having some to her apartment for dinner; mentioning how she thinks "ours" are nicer than other countries' soldiers; describing people's reactions to having the French soldiers around New York; showing her appreciation for Sergeant's reaction to "Antonia"; saying how she liked the book at first while she was writing it, but then thought it seemed dull in the proofs, so she needed some time away from the book to like it again; expressing how terrible it is that so many American soldiers have died in the training camps; telling her to come home from France and recover and then go back and finish her work; commenting how strange the world is with Germany howling to get relief first.
