Summary
Informing him that she is staying with (Katherine) Judson in New Hampshire, writing that it is "good news that some of 'Queen's encounter' is ready", asking him to send it to her so she can read it, along with his book Cavalcade of the American novel and "the Irving book" (possibly referring to Laurence Irving's Henry Irving, the actor and his world); declaring Eisenhower to be "the only male running" (in the presidential election), asking "Why not [Henry Cabot] Lodge? At least he is a real man!", adding that "T.V. is the Xray I go by", but conceding that "Stevenson writes well".
