Dear folks,
Forgive this
rather long delay. I have been awful busy with both the book
and the television project. A contract for the latter will
probably be signed soon. NBC has purchased the story
treatment. So I suppose that we shall begin to try to
dialogue it presently.
Meanwhile I
have received about a hundred favorable replies on "A.A.
Comes of Age." Like your own, they are extremely
favorable. I'm really delighted that you folks like the book
and can see so few changes.
I'm
especially glad to have that early review in the A.M.A. Journal.
I have ransacked our files, but couldn't find it. We
will try to put this in the Appendix of the book, provided that
Dr. Bauer of the A.M.A. will be all right. And I'm sure he
will; he is a grand chap.
I have heard
from Dorothy and, as you say, she likes the book very much, also.
It was good to know that Caroline approved the way Hank was
treated.
You are dead
right about 1937 being the date we parted from the Oxford Groups.
Somebody else picked this up, too.
I'm also
putting in a little bit about Jackie Williams, how, in spite of
the fact he didn't make it, he did us a lot of good. Also,
the discription [sic] of his funeral and the great faith that was
felt by everybody there. It was a very affecting incident
which ought to be recorded.
Meanwhile, I've got to fly. A million thanks to you both.
Ever,
/s/
Bill
