Masters writes in response to Allen's letter concerning his book "Across Spoon River." He discusses religion and reading, and suggests she read his poem "Prometheus" which was printed in "The Serpent in the Wilderness." He believes her atheism is similar to Buddhism since she believes in a life force and not God. He mentions his book, "Invisible Landscapes." Masters briefly compares and contrasts reality to self-pity.
