Now I'll answer your letter Jan. 15:

I have not received any of the Christmas gifts you sent me. What are they?

What means "I'm your friend whatever happens"? What do you mean with whatever happens?

Glad to hear about the book from you. Civita never wrote me anything since November.

It's O.K. the site of the book etc. Never mind the colors.

I have no idea about the title. What do you suggest, or Duell or somebody? It's a tough question because I don't want anything crazy or silly.

They'd like- Geraghty wrote me- a general idea to tie the book but I don't know how that is possible when it's made with drawings picked up here & there, no continuity & so on. Just call it something like "132 drawings by Soandso".

Preface by Thurber is fine but does he want to write it? I wonder wether he knows much my drawings, [[strikethrough]] he ne [[/strikethrough]] how is his sight now? Can he see my drawings? Better ask him if he wants to before I [[strikethrough]] ri [[/strikethrough]] write him.
