Summary: 

Thanking him for sending "the offprint of the entry of [her] work in First Printings of American Authors"; wondering if he can omit the last entry, "John Rood: Exhibition of Recent Sculpture"; explaining that she "knew far too little about sculpture to write about it" but felt obliged "to try it anyway" since Mr. Rood printed the first story she ever wrote.
