Dear Bertie,

I want to print a short resume of what you said on Sunday, October 12th in the Winter number of the magazine and I have to send the matter in immediately. When I had this verbatim account I did not know what was the best thing to put but I thought that on the whole I would rather ask you to give me 500 words, not more, on anything you would like said. I think this is infinitely more satisfactory than cutting and arranging oneself, I might leave in something you wished out and leave out something you wished in. Any reference to me must go by the board first, I have accepted those as precious bouquets from a friend. I can imagine how terribly busy you are at this season - we all are, thank God - but do get this done for me very quickly, it will not take you long if you give it a few minutes thought.

I am going to send you if you are interested something else of mine a resume of a year's dreams truthfully and baldly told, but so many people now are interested in dreams from every point of view and whether good or bad I know there would be a big reading public for such a book. If you are interested I will send it to you personally because if you would be so good before handing it to your readers to cut out those dreams you think no sort of interest. It is a peculiar and heterogeneous collection but it is absolutely truthful that is its one virtue. One could go on ad lib and I am often tempted to do so but
