to send you the materials which I promised to mail on

my return to Los Angeles last Fall. But I am sure you

will understand when I

explain that I have been

i no in at do boot and too espondot it has boon

I was having some difficilty with

my eyes when I was In New York last October.. Complications

in the eyo on which a cataract operation had been performed

became much worse after my return to the west Coast for the

banquet that was given in my honor early in November. Since

there was a cataract to be removed from the other eye,

It was almost useless. In view of the complications that

for your good offices in this matter.

I will chock with

Citadel to make sure that the contract has been sent, and

I am still making extendive changes in the soript,

which have beenheld up due to my inability. to work. I am

afraid it will now be some months-- as I have many deferred

done by Barl Robinson. I shall lot you know how lt 1s progress-
