Summary
Apologizing for not answering his letter and explaining that she has been busy preparing for her role in Sean O'Casey's "Within the gates", and discussing the play, which opened in New York "a few weeks ago" and has been going well overall, and stating "I believed in the play from the moment I read the MS and am so happy indeed to have a part in it"; informing him that she "asked Mr. Griffiths about the book", and that he was non-commital in his response and would like to meet with him the next time he comes East; wishing him success with his new book (i.e. "Mark Twain : the man and his work").
