Dear Comrade:

That is a dear letter and it does me good. I feel in it the same glow that I used to see in your face--and want to see it again.

I think Simon & Schuster would be better than Macmillans--far fewer publications, more cleverness in promotion. I hope they'll want the book.

Homer's book is a joy. I'm so glad about it.

No more now, but this carries the old gratitude and love, dearest comrade,


Jno.
