Summary
Responding to Wagenknecht's efforts to locate a copy of W.D. Griffith's film "Abraham Lincoln" with the suggestion that he contact Griffith directly, and adding that while she bought several Artcraft films, this one was not included among them, "although I do own Griffith's Lady of the Pavement and one other that he produced for Arts Cinema; but what has become of the Lincoln picture I have no idea."; informing him that they have adopted two children, and remarking "They are a perfect joy to us and I can't imagine what life was like at Pickfair before their coming."; expressing her agreement with Wagenknecht's condemnation of the New Deal, writing that she is "delighted with the kind things you said about my films", adding that she doubts she ever appear in one again, but that she is "in the the midst of production preparations for several pictures", and sending him D.W. Griffith's address in a postscript.
