Additional Details

"I will write to you in a few days about more covers. I would like to make them but I think I had better ask Scribner's about it as I am making a fall and Christmas cover for their magazine, and sometimes they would rather I would not make covers for other magazines at the same time. You did not say if I could have the original of the Spring number of 'The New Magazine' back in time to send to Buffalo? . . ."
