12-29-61 Dear Jack & Gladys,

    To answer the question in your Christmas note, I seem to have no power with the academic people, tho' I know several ^college teachers who do, for instance, like "Pippins & Cheese" but don't seem helpful on promoting it.   I wrote a plugging letter to some Ohio colleges offering P & C at a low price for classwork, but am doubtful of the results.  Will be out in Ohio week after next & ask the Peninsula Library whether they sold any on that basis.
    This "New Year's card" is largesse from a guy-friend of a friend - who became a Falstaff fan overnight when I sent him the book in thanks for several pictures at Christmas.
   I am sure New York needs you as much as vice versa and I hope I for one will get to see you more the next time.  You might enjoy a nephew (by marriage) of mine here who teaches sociology at Brooklyn College.  And my niece, his wife, who is bright too.
   It's fine about "The Disinherited" in paperback.
   Oh, did you ask me how P & C had sold.  About 360 by
