Title
Letter from Marie Seton to Helene and Ronald Moody, addressed from Chicago
Date
7–14 October 1950
Description
This letter regards Marie Seton's mood, her preference for Europe over America, and her impressions of Europe during the previous year's visit. She refers to her regrets at staying so long in America and her hatred for American culture, Fascism, political illiteracy and warmongering there. Seton also mentions Donald's [Hesson, her then husband] struggles to finish his book and her own work on the Sergei Eisenstein biography.
