Remarking that reporters have been pestering her in regards to "that poor girl Marilyn Monroe;" noting that she met Monroe exactly three times and that she liked her; mentioning that "though I knew her so slightly, I am certain for very good reasons that she killed herself by mistake." Longing to see Jane and Kenneth and inviting them to luncheon on the 16th; regretting that she was unable to lunch with them at the CafeĢ Royale, remarking that she is "still clamped to that wretched wheeled chair," which is difficult to get in and out of and is "so humiliating." Enclosing some poems.
