Dear F.W.T. More than a month since you mailed that letter dealing with the little red song book so I am late with my response for cause. Been jungling up in the High Sierras for two months during which time I only connected twice with my first class mail and that because of the checks.. Would have stayed away longer but cold wheather chased us southward before the expected time. Ice in the water bucket settled the matter as to stay or not to stay.

I am happy to hear that meaningful improvement will be made in the forthcomming editions of the little red song book. Its about time too, let me tell you.

At this time I have another letter from Dick Brazier saying he was mistaken about being left out in the last printing of the song book. A new york friend of his had told him so in error. Since then he has been supplied with a copy and was happy to find his song in it. All
