Concerning the uncertainty over the delayed publication of his article ["Starvation Under The Orange Trees, "] and his frustration with the situation, noting that "the liberal Scripps Howard people don't want to print the stuff," but that "someone said he had seen it in an Oklahoma paper." Thanking Lorentz for his involvement, and noting that the money has been sent to the Simon Lubin Society. Reporting that he is "working on a book now and [hopes] to god [he] can stick with it and get it finished." Also mentioning a visit from Pat [Pascal] Covici and potential involvement in a film. Assuming that Lorentz's plans for the picture [possibly the film adaptation of "In Dubious Battle"] have "languished," but hoping that they have not been "entirely abandoned."
