...of the outcome so that I may if need be give instructions to C & W for the possible return of the original.
You will of course not be conducting business over the holiday period, so who at the N.R.F. should I give instructions to during this time?
HOUSES - Thanks for the verses, they are really very funny. The book is greatly enhanced by them. There is however a small problematic detail: the bird is not a swallow. It is more like a robin redbreast or something like that, but although there is such a thing as artistic freedom and I would prefer not to specify the zoological species, we are likely to be severely criticised by André and his friends - and rightly so - therefore I should prefer that that be changed.
Sorry about this request, and thanks in anticipation.
Madame Rey and I wish you a very happy holiday (Will you let me know your address?). My regards to Madame Schiffrin and Monsieur André.
Best wishes,
H.A. Rey
