Letter from Claude Fredericks to Herbert Cahoon, Pawlet, Vermont, 1949 April 7 : typescript signed.

Expressing gratitude for Herbert's participation in the printing process: "If commissions were always as pleasant as this, we'd be tempted to abandon all the difficulties of publishing permanently."; recalling The Banyan Press' upcoming schedule; commending Herbert for charging four dollars for his book; discussing the reception of the book's title page; assuring Herbert that The Banyan Press would send the rest of the copies of the book to be bound; confirming the details of the binding process; advising Herbert on when to set the publication date: "Arno promises them by the end of the month, and since he usually keeps his word, I think they will be done then. I do think it might be a little safer to set the publication date however a day or two after the first, say the fourth or fifth."; referencing a trip to Cummington Press; commenting on spring in Vermont.
