Summary
Reaching out after a lapse in correspondence, saying "It's been a good many years since my ill-fated -- and ill-edited -- little magazine RENASCENCE died, and since then I've lost touch with you completely"; sharing with Herbert that he has followed the progression of Herbert's career with admiration, noting that Renascence was the first journal to publish Herbert's work; informing Herbert about a literary journal edited by George Kirgo [American screenwriter and author], called “Kirgo's"; informing Herbert what Kirgo pays his contributors, adding "George knows your work, and has asked me whether or not I could persuade you to submit some work to him"; personally endorsing Kirgo as an editor, saying "he is fair, honest, and discriminating".
