Mr. Seward Collins
The Bookman
386 Fourth Ave.
New York, N.Y.

Dear Mr. Collins:

Under separate cover, we are sending you three books which we should like you to consider; in allotting space to them, in the following order of importance.

1. THE INTERNE by Wallace Thurman and A. L. Furman

2. WEEK-END GIRL by Warner Fabian

3. NAKED GLORY by Lawrence David.

The first has the importance of bringing to public attention the shocking conditions in public hospitals, and the situation in which the internes find themselves, which callouses them by overwork and leads them into unpleasant diversions for relaxation and into petty rackets for pocket money. It is an exposé novel and an important one.

The second novel is significant as an indication of what is likely to be the new style in popular fiction. Warner Fabian is, one might say, the Poiret of light fiction.

The third novel is frothy, but very entertaining and can honestly be recommended to all who hold diversion to be the chief end of their reading efforts.

I would like to see you again soon if you can spare the time. May I drop in some late afternoon?

Sincerely yours,
Jedediah
