M. Carey Thomas writes to Mary Garrett that she is glad Garrett is enjoying the operas she is seeing in Germany.

She comments that between work for the upcoming school year and social engagements she has had little time to read extensively. Thomas writes that although she thought a biology professor was about to be hired, they will have to start the search over again after finding out the man they were about to hire is Jewish. Thomas complains that she has no one in Maine who she likes to socialize with. A small card from a Miss Schroeder, asking Thomas to send her a copy of the monograph (though what monograph is unclear), is included with the letter.
