THE READER'S DIGEST
PLEASANTVILLE  NEW YORK
[[/preprinted]]

January 31, 1963

Dear Miss McCoy:
 
Although the enclosed material has not won acceptance as a Reader's Digest First Person Story, nor as an item usable elsewhere in the magazine, we do appreciate your having given us the opportunity to consider it. The active cooperation of our readers is a real editorial aid. Digest departments like Life in These United States, Picturesque Speech and Laughter could not exist without contributions from readers. 

We thank you for your interest and helpfulness on this occasion and wish you greater success with some later contributions to this or to another department. 

Sincerely,
[[signature]] E. Luongo [[/signature]]

Miss Esther McCoy
