My Dear Dodie
Thanks very much for your nice long and very cheering letter. Your letters are always most interesting as you write just as you would speak - a gift very few people possess.
I have taken the liberty of forwarding your letter to Loene[?] who also will, I feel some, appreciate your kind expression of feeling for him. I seriously hope you have heard from him by now. It is more of a marvel to me every day, dear Dodie, how people can be so cruel and slanderous and absolutely mischievious. There is not a single word of truth in what this wonder Mrs. Hutchinson has said. Is it not peculiar that people who rise suddenly from nothing personally [??} gain the impression that the best & proper way to keep yourself in the daily lime light.
