Summary
Acknowledging the "shocking report" of (their son) David's illness, and hoping that he is now "on the road to recovery"; remarking that they had only two hours to change stations as they passed through Chicago recently, and that "there wasn't even time for a telephone call."; informing him that her sister Dorothy followed them by plane as she was detained in the west for retakes on her latest film, and that she is now rehearsing the role of "Mrs. Holmes" in Emmet Lavery's "The Magnificent Yankee", which Lillian Gish had hoped to do the previous year; adding that she should be passing through Chicago in January and hopes they will be able to meet at that time.
