Dear Sherwood, I have been expecting a summons to Owens- boro, from Papa Steele - which trip I find pleasure in linking with a continuation to New Orleans. If I have to go to O in the next two weeks I will wire you - provided it is agreeable to you- will find you in touron - and won't disturb your work. You are having a grand old time with Dark Laughter, I gather from your recent letter Gosh ! Do you suppose I'll ever have nerve enough to wall myself in somewhere. This early morning work at my desk is fine but it is too brief, As surely as I get down with a good hour or hour and a half, some son-of- a gun drifts in presently all full o pep and a great idea for landing the HOOZUS account - or he couldn't sleep, and is glad to find someone in the office to gossip with.
