Hold it all until we meet again in New York…Since seeing you in New York, I have picked up a new copy of 3 Pals—which I think you mentioned—so that is now off your list.” The third, in part: “Many thanks for finding more materials for me. I am well pleased with the other items—barring some poor quality fotography—and trust your selection on this next batch. Enclosed find the check to cover the items…Keep your eyes open for still additional materials.” The final letter, in part: “In connection with the write-up of our data on masturbation in the female, we have had occasion to go through the literature again.
