Waugh writes to thank White for her compliments on the book, "Helena," on which Waugh worked hardest but is least popular. Waugh suggests reading her "Life of Ronald Knox," and congratulates White on her recent conversion to Catholicism. Waugh deplores changes in the church (from Vatican II) that boast of "Renewal," but notes that the Church has survived harder times.
