in pencil Jake May 9, 1948

Dear Jack:
  Thanks for your efforts on my behalf with Messrs.? Dedman and Guilfoil. From the trend that we have been

quietly observing, I hardly think that the situation described by these two men as now prevailing in the publishing field really surprises either of us. Neither, of course, does the fact that I am now in good company, helped along by members, mitigate the situation for me. But that is something else again.

 For me, the situation is more or less parallel to the one with which I found myself confronted when I first resumed

civilian status. Very confusing, both then and now. somehow, I'll come through again, though, at the moment, I am stumped for ideas.

 By the way, there is some poetic justice in the Spectorsky spectacle. (Horrible alliteration, but apropos.)
 I hope my directing the Barkas chap at you hasn't been too much of an imposition. should you find pay-dirt in him,

both of us would feel rewarded. His one work that I saw seemed to show talent of an undisciplined kind. In fact, it was something in the Schulman vein, - burlesque with a heavy hand.

 At this period of enforced cognition I find my lack of a typewriter more inconvenient that at anytime in the past two

years. Gad, I must lay hands on one, somehow. Jake
