Thanking him for the charming way he outlined his refusal to write a weekly column for Newsday. Remarking on Steinbeck's intention to travel to Ireland that winter, and suggesting that "either when you are on your travels or when at home, and you want to get off your mind some of the things that should go into the hearts of your fellow-countreymen, in such a mood write a piece for Newsday, as shor or as long as you like, and on any subject that occurs to you." Promising to syndicate anything that Steinbeck sends, noting that the paper now has the ability to give Steinbeck's copy the "circulation it deserves," as opposed to during Alicia's time at the paper. Further noting that whenever Steinbeck was ttravelling and able to write a piece for the paper, "of course you will be travelling on Newsday business."
