  Thanks for the clipping and the impressive head of Cook. I do am tired, mainly because the cot is bad, and the shower makes me nervous, instead of relaxing as a bath would.

  I am back in New Haven.
  Saturday morning I went to the AAA to give the text for the new litho. The man in charge was enthusiastic about it, said it was the best I had done for them. Which means, I suppose, that it will sell.
