Describes a vitagraph film starring Edith Starey The Dust of Egypt ; news of his family; condolences on the death of her brother-in-law; outlines a new routine which will involve audience participation; his hope to write more poems to be danced, "I see myself sometime doing these things for the corn fed chautauquas and having some real adventures really preaching the gospel of Beauty - in assemblies of farmers three thousand strong, and I want to work up aesthetical camp meeting procedures that will go with the farmers, without losing any of the bloom of my corn tassel or peach blossom chant."

Envies Mrs. Vrooman's inside association with Washington politics; mentions discussing politics with Joe Ferris; has Eleanor Daugherty scheduled with him at the Chicago Little Theatre, and elsewhere, to perform several of his pieces in costume; discusses the necessity of sincerity in public life; Lindsay also discusses his politics, "I am not a Democrat, I am rather deliberately and permanently a Socialist, but I shall vote for Wilson, as will my mother who is a Republican by antecedents. She is preparing a bit of a Wilson tract now, of an exceedingly conservative tone based on international affairs mainly, in which she is much interested, as a missionary leader of long standing"

Mentions being extremely busy, "I am reprinting The Village Magazine using all the 75 old plates - and adding at least fifty more, and drawing very hard, besides interviewing engraver and printer. I do not want to recite again ever, until my audiences have been put upon an entirely new basis. I have of late insisted that everyone in the audience read all seven of my books. But this plan did not work on account of the well known limitations of human nature. No one ever read seven books by anybody, let alone me."; will soon be engaged in correcting the proofs for The Golden Book of Sprinfield and has no time for recitation.

Responding to his letter, she writes that she is sad to know that Vachel the poet is dead but "if however, I say Vachel the poet is dead for a while - long live Vachel the Painter. I think you are a Sign Painter indeed painting the signs of the times!"

Thanks her for her advice about London, where he feels completely out of place, "the signs are all readable, but when the people talk I just get tired "; and George Bell and Company in London are bringing out a volume of his poems on September 20th.
