Summary
Saying that he just finished "reading proof in the batch you sent me and on the second batch that Miss Pichulo forwarded and they will both be expressed to Mrs. Tyler on Monday, ahead of deadline"; acknowledging that the Perverse News Items were set up and that he expects Bradford will take them out for Sam (Berman) to use; discussing his favorites, but suggesting Sam pick them out instead; stating that he got prankish in the News Items and used real names of friends, so he needs to make sure none of the real names end up in the book; showing his gratitude that Bradford has decided to do two of his books in the same year, especially since he usually does one book every six years; adding that he has been approached by a television company to telecast his stories "Cloudland revisited" and that he referred them to Sid Perelman who wrote the stories.
