Summary
Launching into a long discussion of the characters and plot of "Shakespeare Wallah," upon reflection from her previous letter from that morning; wanting to get to work on a new draft but making herself wait until Ivory has had a chance to do a redraft; pointing out that she doesn't "approve of long speeches very much, neither in a novel nor in a film."
