Hughes to Miller. Handwritten letter on School of Natya stationery and onionskin. Hughes urges Miller to follow his artistic convictions and says that he needs more drive and focus. She tells him that "if you had liked and admired Hughes she would have been a good teacher for you. You didn't, so she wasn't." Later she says that she does not think he has lowered and degraded himself by his attentions to her and that "I am quite good enough to be loved, whatever you or your mother may think to the contrary: & no one has ever been in any way degraded by any association with me." In reply to what Miller wrote in his letter, Hughes states that she is indeed thoughtless and never remembers anyone's birthday or holidays, but that "those who know me (& some who love me) just put up with it." Hughes tells Miller that she is no good for him and that there is no future for them. She has always told him that she could never marry him, but she has never seduced him or willfully played with his love. She feels hurt at "being assigned the role of the designing female." 6 leaves.
