Additional Details

". . . Would you be interested in writing a Pawnee Bill Story for Ace High if so I could render you great assistance. Mr. Clayton is extremely friendly to me. He sent me a beautiful piece of bronze Statuary and a real English Plum Pudding made by some member of his family for Christmas. Did you see and read the story Blazing Horizon put out by N.E.A. Service?"
