Monday Morning.

Dear Mr. Muir,

Will you and Mrs. Muir run your eyes over this [M.S.?] to see if there is anything objectionable in it? Please speak plainly, [and?] anything you wish, and add also what it lacks. I know it is [illegible], My pen is so stiff and awkward and [illegible]trained. I must ask you to return it at once. I must have it by Friday or the editor will get after me. Love to all.

Hastily

Katharine M. Graydon
