Dear Elizabeth:

Happy New Year, and splendid good fortune on the
new job!

I hope you safely received my telegram, in response to yours,
saying that the Palm Beach story was called "Twenty-four Hours
in June," and that it was published in the Saturday Evening Post
for February 17, 1917. I wish I had an extra copy, and I'd
sent it to you, but I haven't one. It seems to be hard to get
back copies from the Post; it may be necessary to borrow one
from some file, say Harpers advertising department.

I sent the telegram to you at Gramercy Park, and I'm sending
this letter to you at the same address, because your telegram
gave only Fort Lee for address, and I didn't know just where at
Fort Lee to address you.

Grace and the baby and I are all happy and well and busy. And
I -- you will shrink with consternation, having been through the
grind yourself -- am writing a play and actually working on it!

As ever,

Dear Elizabeth:

I shall be excited indeed to
see your autobiography. I think it will
be forwarded from Bronxville -- we have
leased the house there -- and I shall
read it as soon as I possibly can. I am
sorry that I have given up my book column
in NEWSWEEK so that I shan't be able to
review it.

I remember so well our summer
evenings on the roof in Gramercy Park,
and your incomparable help to me!

Dear Elizabeth:

Only last night did I finish
THREE ROUSING CHEERS. I was at once
immensely pleased and a little saddened,
with a nostalgic kind of sadness, by your
brilliant evocation of the past -- Good
Lord! it began twenty-four years ago --
when for a while we were so happily asso-
ciated. I think that at that time you
and Charley Towne and Grace (but of course
Grace was herself only an amateur then
and not sure of her own judgment) along
with Mary Heaton Vorse, gave me more en-
couragement as well as hard practical
advice than everybody else in the world
put together. To three of these four I
owe something that can not be repaid ex-
cept in lasting affection.

I remember every minute of our
gorgeous meetings, I think, particularly
the roof-top in Gramercy Square which was
a higher peak than any Empire State Build-
ing was ever to be!

I ran into Charley Towne at the
theatre last evening, and he looked not
only well but as youthfully cheerful as
he was twenty-five years ago. I told him
that he would never cease to be the up-

Dear Miss Lundy:

I do wish it were possible for
me to be present at the cocktail party
for Miss Elizabeth Jordan on Thursday,
March 17th, but I shall be out of town
all the end of that week.
