Summary
Thanking Herbert for his note; informing Herbert that due to "the really exhausting financial difficulties" of running a literary magazine and the "apathy of the public" she is considering giving up The Chimera; noting that only an "adequate backing and an influx of editorial energy" would enable the magazine to continue; asking Herbert if the basis of The Chimera would be "any use" to the literary magazine The Tiger's Eye, "or, if not, if your friend Coates would be interested"; sharing that her true desire would be "to sell it for something".
