Dear Jack:

Sorry I couldn't attend your autographing party in Chicago but we were out of town at a

wedding that Saturday.

If you have any hard cover copies of your new book on hand could you send me one?

Enclosed is check which I hope will cover the cost of the book plus mailing.

Hope you will do well with it and that it wont be too long before your biography is

published.

From time to time I have a free-lance piece published in the Tribune, etc. and have a

novel that I have hopes for. Also plan to go into business after the holidays with a gimmick I devised along with an artistic partner. Will send you a copy
