stealing a shipload of munitions, love scenes, beautiful maids escaping in boys' clothes - all the old hokum involving everybody from beggar to King Geo III. It's lots of fun. Despite the fact that we are going it recklessly, there are spots of good writing in it. Be- lieve it or not! This letterhead would indicate my bread-and-butter job - if there was any bread and butter in it. The letterhead cost $2. I get a deal for next to nothing where I take care of Pop Steele's advertising - he's scheduled $500 this fall! - Hugh Hill - Pete Moberly et. al. Had a rouse with old Hugh at the Fair a few days ago. Jeez what a copper-lined and riveted stomach that old reprobate has! Maybe you heard that I was in Louisville for six months to last spring - at the Frankfort Dis- tilleries. That was a swellunderlined job - $100 a week - until Young & Rubicam big New York agency knocked me out in favor of their own name. If you know of a whisky business that wants a trained man flag me. They say the moonshiners are getting ritzy now - hiring professional dis- tillers from the big liquor plants. Maybe there's one down there in the Troutdale hills Cheered by the probability that you will be in Chicago this fall. Let me know in time to get hold of Marci. I'll save my pen nies for a bottle or two - of something better than the blends if possible. Will ship the Prizefighter - the Tennessee piece by Express as per your direction, Care Mrs B.F.
