April 20, 1971 Dear Jack: I am ordering the books to be shipped from the warehouse to you today. It was great to hear from you again. I was only sorry to hear about your siege in the hospital. * But I'll worry when you stop sending the edification tracts. I spoke with a friend of yours at the National Book Awards last month -- Thorpe Menn. He told me you were up to all sorts of nonsense, but I'm paraphrasing. I spoke too with Van Allen Bradley. Joe Haas I don't know but I hope you can convince him of the worth of H&W books, especially Chicago's native son, B. Traven. Brass and groundlings return greetings. Best, signature Gail (Mrs.) Gail Schlegel Publicity Director
