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 [sic] 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
