My Dear Shinn

Have just received your letter. I can't make out altogether what it is you want.  As much as I can gather is your wish to use the names of "The Eight" to advertise your puzzle.  How you are going to do it you haven't stated.

For the life of me I can't see what "The Eight" have in common with puzzles [[strikethrough]] unless it is Prendergast [[/strikethrough]] 

However I should be very glad to do anything I can to help the puzzle along, and you can use my name as you will. 

If prestige is to be had by advertising, even involuntary we, "The Eight" haven't a single shred left. I am perfectly willing to let my name go on a breakfast food or a toilet soap. Tell Fuller this.

Little Ira is all right and growing huskier every day. Zeed and I are suffering from an inflamed home.
