Summary
Writing that she glad he liked "the picture with the candle" she sent him (to serve as a design for a Christmas card) and pleased to hear what he has to say about D.W. Griffith's film "Abraham Lincoln" which she not yet seen; discussing his proposal for a book about her, and concluding that it would be inadvisable as it is too early in her stage career, publishing "is in such a bad way", and it would not be good to publish a book about her before Albert Bigelow Paine has published the book he is currently working on; informing him that "Uncle Vanya" closes in a week, that she is tired and hoping for a rest, and that her sister (Dorothy Gish) starts rehearsals tomorrow in a production of Gogol's "Inspector General."
