2 second tale.

I want you to read "Some Men Write Fairy Stories" -- at your convenience. Im going ahead to market it, and I hope your readings of it will be in the printed volume. So much I owe to your brotherly interest, and the good talks we had about it in New Orleans that I feel it will hold you to the end.

Marco told me about the calamity the burning of your mss. at Boni & Liveright's. Marco said it was the original in long hand. No carbon! Jesus! Thats awful!

He certainly is a study
