Dear Sherwood Anderson, -

 Am just a pest !
 Well, I'm going to have a series of "literary portraits", various authors by various other portraits -

personality sketches - in 100-150 words. For each of these I cam pay only the huge sum of $10. They will be illustrated by a sketch of some worth.

 Now, won't you do one of the following. Please let me know which: Edgar Lee Masters, Carl Sandburg, 

Sinclair Lewis or Vachel Linsay.

 I'll be please if you'll enter into the scheme. It seems to me to be anniz?
   Sincerely    John Farras
