Dear Harley Mitchill;
I am enclosing my answer from August Lenniger . 
Please feel perfectly free to say your true sentiments in regard to the whole business and if your answer is to let Mr. Lenniger do the editing please say so. I had quite a debate with myself before sending you this as I appreciate too well how easy it is to liable ourselves to more requests after one kindness done impulsively. The logic that over ruled my conscience in this case is that I am so anxious for those outside the industry to know the real story of Waco and it is not the one given the brokers. I proved it to them so satisfactorily in Cinn. that the qualified their position bysaying that they did not guarantee the statements -- so you see my motive is mostly altruistic and a consuming desire to earn the credit for two dead boys who cannot defend themselves.
Please be frank with me , wont you? I have regulated my hours and am working on the whole story as fiction.
