Dear Sinclair:-
I am awfully glad you got the book started. I want to help you. I know you need it.
You have got to go down to the Ozarks with us. I do not know just when it will be, but some time after the 10th of may. My case starts in Detroit on the 19th and I will know better after it is started and then I will let you know.
You and that pulpit-pounder Jenkins are a damn fine pair of friends. I could tell the lady where she could do better than taking a shot at me. Anyhow, you will hear from me.
Best wishes.
Truly,
Mr. Sinclair Lewis
