Dear Mr. Hitz:: That is underlined exciting news from the front - that you have found Theunderlined Library underlined, and I'll have more to say about the puzzles suggested later. Now I am just beginning to get through an attack of flu - the real thing after six weeks of preparatory or shall I say "softening up" colds. I congratulate you on finding struck out -the the Library underlined and the Home Monthly underlined! Before I was taken sick I had followed up your lead about the "cottonwood" article and found you were right - it was in the Journal underlined , Nov. 1 1932. (I think underlined; must look up my notes later) Collateral material is suggested for other Nebraska papers of about that date)
