Dear Sir or Madam:

1. My face is pink with pleasure at your remarks about ray “high standard” and my latest book.

2. The cheque Mrs. Valdon handed Archie Goodwin (page 10, last line) was for one thousand dollars. The “00/100” merely shows that she knew how to make out a check, American style.

Cordially,
