Summary
Sending him D.W. Griffith's address; commiserating with him about being "on the shelf", and adding "Only they have to take me down eight times a week and make me run around the Blackstone Theatre as Vinnie." (a reference to the role of Vinnie Day which she was currently performing in the play "Life with father"); mentioning that she is working on a speech for the radio which she believes "will coincide with both our ideas on America".
