                                                                                                                                               December 8, 1928

                   My dear Mr. Anderson,
                                It is with great trepidation that
                   I write you again, Mr. Anderson, as you will
                   probably wonder what new request I am about
                   to make.  It was my hope, when I wrote
                  you for permission to use "Just Walking,"
                   that there would be no further need of
                  troubling you.  It now develops, however,
                  that my choice of that story is less
                 suitable for a college text than would be,
                 for instance, your story "What Makes
                  a Boy Afraid?"
                                I have taken the liberty of
                 substituting the latter story for "Just
                  Walking,"  before consulting you as the
                  book was being held up, and because I
                  hoped you would not take amiss my
                  acting before I could get word to you.
                                 I do trust you will not be
                 offended. If I do not hear from you
                 I shall take it that you do not
                 disapprove.
                                            Very sincerely yours,
                                                Henry Goodman
