Please forgive the delay in my replying to your nice and informative letter. I have admired your work for a long time and it was a pleasant surprise to hear from you. We are highly interested in radical and proletarian literature and I have mailed to you, under separate cover, copies of our Catalogues Eight & Nine which have a substantial section of such books (listed under Radical Literature).
We are interested in making an offer for underlined: Chicago: City on the Make, but it is not clear to me whether this copy is inscribed by you, by Algren, or by both of you. Please let me know about this and I will offer 50-60% of the price I catalogue the book for.
My Partner, Larry Moskowitz is planning a book buying trip through the Mid-West in May of 1975. Perhaps, you would like him to call on you to examine your library with an eye toward buying some of your books. We pay fair prices and, as you may have deduced from a reading of our catalogue, are interested in off-the-track titles. I look forward to hearing from you.
