Summary
Expressing gratitude that Wagenknecht read and enjoyed his latest Solar Pons tales; writing that Edgar W. Smith (of the Baker Street Irregulars) and author Anthony Boucher have also offered words of encouragement; noting that the books often operate on a financial loss, however; repeating the publishing schedule for the first part of the year, including the reissue of "Bright Journey" in April and the de la Mare after that; closing with a list of forthcoming titles and collections he is working on, including "Harrigan's File," "The Lock and the Key," and "The House on the Mound," a sequel to "Bright Journey."
