Dear Jack

     I was very glad to get your letter when I did.  We had just returned from a flying visit to N.Y. to discuss problems of the underlined:  People's Cultural Union and its publishing arm underlined: Great Concord Publishers.  Your information concerning the San Francisco group is very welcome.  Just in case they fail to contact me, would you be so kind as to give their address?   This would not be a betrayal of confidence as I would simply put them on the mailing list to receive the first issue of underlined: Great-Concord Tide which will be out very shortly.  You, too, are of course on the list and so I will not take time now to explain the program; it will be covered in this and subsequent issues of the bulletin.  I hope you will like it and subscribe to the program as it is the grandest and only possible (I think) approach to the releasing of mass artistic ability and reader appreciation.
    I haven't gotten to underlined:  Slappy Hooper yet but will give it a plug at the Washington Cooperative Bookshop.  Believe it or not we have been underlined:  some busy on various things.  That was a grand tribute to you from the U.S.S.R.  The article in Saturday Review is also on our list to look up.
