November 1, 1943.

With the realization that good reading is as
essential as ever this year, the nation is observing
Book Week November 14th to 20th. We are asking you
if you would eare to take part in our local program.

As a novel feature of this year's program, the
Journal-World is cooperating in publishing a series
of interviews with chosen Lawrence people on the
subject, "The Book I like Best." You are among those
selected and we hope that you will not mind that you a
are being sent a form letter.

We hope you will feel you have time to write
a few words concerning your favorite book. We hope
that these statements will be personal - at least
individual - and that the choice will not be the book
you feel you should like best, but the one which
actually is your favorite. We do not expect all the
books chosen to be of profound literary significance
or philosophical intent.

These statements must be brief of necessity -
a quarter of a typewritten page is sufficient, a half
page the maximum. As published, they will give the
effect of extemporaneous interviews, but to facil-
itate editing we are asking that your cépy be sent
as soon as possible to Mrs. Domenico Gagliardo, 1108
Ohio Street.

Sincerely yours,

Book Week Committee t ha Thee.
