I am glad you have written kindly to Cadman. I don't think he means any wrong. As soon as I can I will write him a friendly letter  I can't until I can get my desk clean. I'm only writing in a spot to you. Don't misunderstand me, but do you think Cadman ought to share the prize money with you? It was his work that won it, not the story of the Opera, or the words. It seems to me that the prize was his solely. Don't you think so? I think he was very generous to offer to share it & I'd like you to do the nice thing & tell him so, & send it back as an act of friendship. I dont want silly reporters to mar his real affection for you & yours for him. You understand me, I'm sure.

Must stop & see the painter. Soon you'll be home!
