How nice of you to send me an edible valentine! I’d been rather low in mind
for a few days, and a bunch of Valentines, mostly flowers, quite cheered me
up. Nothing in particular to make me feel blue, except that I don’t see my
way to beginning a new story as exciting as the Archbishop4 right now, and reading proofs is dull work after
writing,- it’s like trying to have a gorgeous prty party over again - - - can’t be done. You can have a new
adventure, but you can never have the same one over.
Donovan5 was here for dinner last night and we went to see6 my crush, Rin-tin-tin7. Steichen8, the photographer of the Rich and Great, is coming to dinner tonight. I have a new dinner dress, and a rather gorgeous new afternoon dress,- that’s about all the news. When the proofs get further along, I want you to come down some week-end; you see Edith9 reads them with me, and we can only work at them on week-ends. By the way, how did you come out in the examinations?
