Dear Jack and Gladys,

     I couldn't feel more like a cad - to have asked you to ask a book-seller whether he could stock Jake's book!  You with the flu and things like that.  I meant only (as it were) if you stopped in where a neighborly bookseller knew you - well, I'm sure that even ice usually melts crossed out:  & one pictures it melting  fast in the glow of Jack Conroy.  But it was asking too much, and I can see why stores in a town where the author isn't well known resist this kind of book.  (A. T. Burch of the News there had mentioned the possibility of Krock and Brentanos where he knows somebody too, but I havent heard anything.  But the buyer of Fred Harvey's did write to me the other day & ask for a book to look at, as to whether they [underlined:  might]] ? it after Jan 1.)  (The Cleveland store had said we'd have to ask him.)
    It was extra nice of you to try to do a review for the Sun-Times
