Commiserating about Lorentz's "tough time" on ["Ecce Homo!"], and jokingly agreeing about "people knowing [their] business," relaying that Steinbeck apparently longs to visit Europe the coming summer, though the closest thing he has said to that is that he should like to visit Mexico next Christmas. Discussing Steinbeck's servant, noting that he has quit because "he says Armageddon is coming and he wants to be in San Francisco to see it," and mentioning that they have a new Filipino "garden and house boy." Discussing negative reactions to "The Grapes of Wrath:" noting that the Associated Farmers are "beginning to put the heat on" Steinbeck, that they are "redding [him] up in advance of publications," and that they are calling him a "dangerous radical."
