Summary
Noting that he is enclosing his latest mystery pastiche for Wagenknecht's review; noting he wrote it not primarily to be a good mystery, but really to provide entertainment; commiserating about doing biographical research for Emerson, though writing Wagenknecht's background on William Dean Howells must be more extensive; mentioning he has begun work on a new junior novel; closing by assuring Wagenknecht that there's no hurry to give feedback on the pastiche.
