Mr. Henry Hornsby, ; A
Lexington Herald-Leader,
Lexington, Kentucky.

Dear ire Fornsby :

Thank you for your letter of the ‘20th instant enolosing tear
- sheet from your Herald-Leader.

I have an idea. sass bons talniods SNL etn <i Seng win
who is e little afraid to sign his name, but I have checked up on a
number of fumny things and I find that this chap is correot even to
the period. Why couldn't you use as much of this as you like? You,
of course, will proteot me from eny libel, such as; "Maybe I shouldn't
have mentioned this place, as I understand the police judge, 7. J.
Ready, owns half interest in it. Chief of Police Austin B, Price
might get into trouble if he had it raided."

You ovate word that to the effect that "I have nik. ees that .
police judge, T. J. Ready, owns half interest . . ." and so on.

Another paragraph you perhaps would not want to publish, "Dr.
- Allen, don't get me wrong. I am an ardent race horse fan. I love
them. But I think it should be discontinued for the duration.
Race horses are the life of this seotion of the scoumtry. But when
such articles like this come sie on the front page, I can't on
still."

If you feel that you want to use some of the re go
ahead and do ™~

Sincerely yours,
