Summary
Concerning upcoming plans to travel to Cleveland to "assist in the opening of a Drive for better housing for Senior Citizens of the inadequate income group", and from there to Boston, where she will receive an honorary degree from Emerson College, and where they expect to visit with the Wagenknechts; remarking that "Life is always a series of energy-draining crises at Pickfair and we have had a little more than usual recently", and as a result, she would like to avoid large parties, preferring the company of close friends such his family and the Reverend Rhys Williams; adding that she has not heard from Savolie Lottinville regarding the publication date of his book "Movies in the age of innocence", and she is wondering if he has heard anything as she plans to order some copies for Christmas.
