Dear Jumping Jack,

   You get around!  I always say it is good to do that (as long as it doesn't spread disease).  Broadens the horizons & ennobles the spirit, etc., provided you keep your Christian principles.  You did indeed send me a card from London, the which I would have answered except I didn't know where.  I hope you made it through London with your virtue unscathed.  I have heard that that is the most sinful city in the world & have often aspired to go there myself as a test of the strength of my own purity.
   Dangerous Dick was ill for awhile, but is unleashed on the world again in his full glory.   I understand he did go forth to Yaddo, though I haven't heard irrefutable proof of it.  Did he stop & see you?
   It was good to see all those fine reviews of The Disinherited.  I have been recommending it to our revolutionary student body It's in our library - at least, I ordered it.  I expect it will get more & more  adoptions as time goes on.
   Your plans for They Seek a City are great.  That should catch the great tide now surging - - only, whatta job to update it!  Wow!
