Baldwin discusses several of her books and writes that Many Windows will be published on her 65th birthday. "About education. I don't have the true equivalent of a high school education. Mrs. Dow's school did give courses which if passed took you into college; but I wasn't interested in college; I was about 17 and a ga half sic when I left Mrs. Dow's. The education in Germany was during the war and consisted of house keeping school didn't learn a thing and of German which I learned. I am not sorry I didn't go to college; I think I would have frittered away my time and probably flunked. I was not a good student for I was far too lazy." Baldwin goes on in some detail about advising students to go to college "if it is possible" and discusses the benefits of a college education and the difficulty of supporting herself as a writer. "You can only eat while you write if you have rich parents or generous and/or a well-heeled husband or wife." Baldwin writes about the demands for college degrees in the business world and says she always advises her students to at least have a good secretarial degree "for this is really an open door. I have seen one advance from typist to private secretary to asst. editor and then editor on a national magazine." Baldwin continues about her father's profession lawyer and her mother's a grade-school teacher and her family's background missionaries editors etc. "It's tougher if you are born into a family without the cultural background but that can be overcome by education." She writes "in this era a college education is extremely valuable and certainly a high school education a must." Also signed by Baldwin as "Mrs. Hugh Cuthrell." Baldwin was known for typing her manuscripts quickly but inaccurately and. unknown books
