Dear Max Perkins,

    I am afraid my letters got mixed up. I wrote a first one that got left in the car and [?] mailed until I had written a second.

    They will however straighten themselves out.

    I like the title - 
       Puzzled America

rather than puzzled Americans.

    Sincerely

    Sherwood Anderson
