http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/440794637

Thanking Steinbeck for giving Lorentz permission to dramatize "In Dubious Battle," noting that although he "cannot afford to concentrated on [it] full time" at present, he thinks "it will come off once [he] can plunge into it." Referencing the possibility of Steinbeck writing an article for [Frederick] Soule. Noting that he suggested Soule get in touch with Henry Wallace [U.S. Secretary of Agriculture], and that Wallace "might learn quite a bit about migratory workers from [Steinbeck]." Discussing Lorentz' relationship with "Washington" [i.e. the Resettlement Administration] and their desire for Lorentz to "start work immediately on the industrial story," noting, however, that "they cannot even figure out how to keep a stenographer employed" and that he is "holding back until ... someone there makes a realistic offer." Thanking Steinbeck for his hospitality in San Francisco, and sending love to Carol, inquiring after her lieder singing.
