Friend Yoctors-

I received your manuscript today. Thanks very
much, It is absolutely swell and just exactly what I had hoped for and more
or less expected.

I showed it to the Colonel. He certainly thinks it is fine.
The series of colums will start next week. I will send you a copy of all of
them. I think(modestly) that it is a standout. And I sure appreciate the
cooperation that you and my other friends have given me. And I know that
30,000 men will appreciate it, too, becayse they have a lot of le&sure hours
in the evenings and they consume the stuff in their paper line by line.

I hope that some day I may be able to repay you in some
measure for your kindness and believe me when I say that I will go out of
my way at any time to be of help to you,

Personally, I thank you much. For the men, I thank you
30,000 times.

Most respectfully

dof OVE
