Congratulating him on the birth of his second son, commenting on their shared dislike of hospitals, telling him what a pleasure it was to meet his sister-in-law, and writing that the success of the show she is in currently ("Life with father") is "astonishing", and that her sister Dorothy has opened "with equal success at the Empire in New York on Monday"; adding that she wishes he were there as she is having dinner with Carl Sandburg, and that D.W.
