FPG's Letters to A. L. Phelps




36. 1925:
Rapid City, Man.    January 19, 1925


Dear Phelps,

Just a line re that reading of mine. I have read to Mrs. Grove, Timing myself:

(1) That introductory talk of mine: 14 min.
Lost. 29
The [?] 21
The chapter from the synopsis for W.R.L.H.
which I read at Christmas 21
85 min.
5
90 min

(2) Chapter V of the W.R.L.H. 89 min
Synopsis for this 5
But nothing else
Total 94 min

(3) My talk 14 min
Lost 29
Niels taking Mrs. Vogel from Minor to her place 22 mins
The same scene in (1) which I read at Christmas 21:
86 min

These are the three possibilities keeping the whole program as far as my share is concerned within about 1 ½ hours. As I said in my last letter, I do feel that I should give something new to those who have heard me before. So I shall prefer either (2) or (3).

What do you say?

Yours,
F.P.G.
