Dora's letter to BR is readdressed from New York City to San Francisco, California. She saw his big debate advertised in the Nation. She advises him that the children are well and is sending John's tooth. She updates him on the staff at the school and closes as she has an article to write and is sad that BR is unhappy.

Mrs. Harrington will send BR her description of Dora that "a stupid American novelist" wants for a novel he or she is writing.
