Griffith's secretary for years regarding the possibility of writiing a book about him, and adding that she has "been approached by nearly every publisher in New York on this subject" but that she has always felt that she didn't have the time for it; mentioning that she enjoyed his book and that she and her sister Dorothy won't be going abroad that summer; thanking him for his help with Claudia (Cassidy) and enclosing a letter from Agnes.
