Dear A.L.P.,
Am hard at work, Mrs. G. helping, to cut down the search
to 100 000 words. Mrs. G. can't find another Ms., though
I know there is one somewhere. Can you let me have yours
in a hurry? I am to finish the work by Dec 15. Some job.
But have no definite contract yet, though I am determined
not to let things strand on inessentials. (I want a black
back and burnt-orange side - covers for the binding.) I shall
not cut your Ms. up. It will be the only one of that redaction
left, it seems.
I have not yet stood on my feet, but I believe I am making
some progress though it is slow.
Yours, As ever,
F.P.G.
Deacon makes me laugh. "Don't tell Phelps" or anyone else,
for that matter. He merely mentions you because he knows
our relationship.
