Dear Jack,

    When you failed to answer me within a week, I became a little worried:  Could it be that The Old Harp was no longer up to his irrepressible tricks?  Lo, and Behold, I was mistaken.  Your letter arrived this morning.
     The P. O. has no sense of humor.  "The Sage of Brooklyn" must have thrown it for a loss.  In any case, we are communicating in spite of the difficulties.
     Thanks for putting a good word in for me with Howard of Bentley.
     Yes, I did write something in behalf of Caldwell.   And I do hope it'll stir up the squabs.
      I'm in touch with Millen, who is doing well, busy with his poetry and a book of essays, and I shall tell him of your handstands and the Conference with Meridel where you surely must have given a good account of yourself.
