If you wish any changes, let me know. I am also mailing a copy to Albert Bermel, in case it may conflict with or duplicate something in his article. Not being able to type, the manuscript is a mess and for this I apologize. I am keeping to the schedule I left with you and will return home on the S.S. Flandre on August fourteenth. I hope you are having a pleasant summer and look forward to seeing you in August (Hopefully with a word from Sir Julian for the book.)."
