Using data acquired with the CLEO detector at the CESR e+e- collider at sqrt(s)=3.773 GeV, we measure the cross section for the radiative return process e+e--->gammaJ/psi, J/psi-->µ+µ-, resulting in [script B](J/psi-->µ+µ-)×Gammaee(J/psi)=0.3384±0.0058±0.0071 keV, Gammaee(J/psi)=5.68±0.11±0.13 keV, and Gammatot(J/psi)=95.5±2.4±2.4 keV, in which the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. We also determine the ratio Gammaee[psi(2S)]/Gammaee(J/psi)=0.45±0.01±0.02.
