Summary
Saying that she was sorry to have missed her while she was in New York for Yehudi Menuhin's recital, but was in the hospital; writing that she did get to hear the recital, as Yehudi's mother took her and nurse to a private box and was somewhat disappointed in his playing; replying that she is home again now and her right hand is useless, which is all from neglecting a strained tendon in her thumb; mentioning that Dr. Frank Ober is taking care of her hand; wanting to hear about Stephen's wedding and Jack's doings.
