Jack, you need only write a brief note, saying that you consent to my discussing bids for your literary property. This note is only a gents' agreement that I am getting a chance to get bids for you; it's not conclusive or fatal. Since I already HAVE bids on your bin of treasures, I need only your word.

Ames & I are writing. He sounds swell. I hope to get down there this month, with a senorita friend of mine, to test his hammocks & hospitality. Will give you a full & juicy report.
Jack, I'm having a bit of luck, too. Will send some new publications on BT soon. If you send me the letter, we may get to pay dirt in March '67.
