Dec 8 1977. Dear Jack & Gladys -

   Here's our best wishes for '78.  Delighted you got into the NEA for some $.  We were very sad to hear about the long haul Gladys has had - here's hoping for speedy recovery - and to be off cottage cheese & canned fruit - especially for Christmas.  Many thanks for December & the chapter of the autobiog - I'm looking forward to seeing these all together in a book.  Love & greetings from Lone Pine    Alex & Trudy
