Summary
Saying that he has a letter from the publicity office of Dent & Sons asking for data about his pedigree, which he assumes means they are working on the English edition; realizing that a few of the pieces from Nostalgia might be hard for the English reader to understand, and if this was the case, then he would lift a piece or two from "A rock in every snowball"; noticing that in the "Sullivan at bay" book Dent used several pieces from LIttle Brown that were not used in A pearl in every oyster; adding that there are some things in "A rock" that he would like to see in the English edition; asking for assistance in identifying the name of the sender from Dent that signed his name so illegibly that "he must have had medical training, he writes worse than a doctor"; wishing Bradford could get the Christmas issue of the New Yorker and read his Ode and tell him if he has grown in stature as a Bard during the past year.
