letterhead LAWRENCE HILL & CO. PUBLISHERS, INC. 150 5TH AVENUE NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011 PHONE 741-3838 July 30, 1974 Dear Jack: -

   I just realized I had not heard directly from "the Sage" for some time.  Just received from Jack Salzman a collection of Conroyana & a ms from Helen Bugbee sent at your suggestion.  How are you & did you ever make that trip to the Coast?  Is there anything you can do to rescue  Stefan Heym's wonderful book underlined:  The Queen Against Defoe from oblivion?  His book & his comments on the position of the writer under Socialism has been completely ignored while reams of type has been devoted to that mystic reactionary Solzhenitsyn.

Regards, Larry Enclosing an item for your collection.
