Summary
Thanking him for his letter of March 30th and saying he was "delighted to know that the piece pleased you;" asking for a clarification of the "details;" saying "Mr. Luce and I didn't discuss them - our minds being rather, where they belonged, on the piece itself. Also, knowing what Life's terms have been in the past, I knew there would be no difficulties. But now that the piece is delivered I'd appreciate a word about the arrangement."
