Summary
Saying this letter will "be brief, tranquil, cogent and informative"; expressing astonishment "at the realisation that the contents of August Derleth's little book are now decided on" and saying he would have rather not included A:B:O; asking for advice about "an invitation from the Council of The Authors' Guild of the Authors' League of America" to enroll but debating his age and "an annual subscription of 25 dollars"; asking for news of Wagenknecht's book and family.
