Dear Jack,

Jeanette and I are spending several weeks here with Vicki and Joseph, who have become the parents of a lusty boy double underlined: Michael Robert, hooked for life. This Michael weighed in at 7 pounds 9 ½ ounces, and is at this writing 7 days old. Joseph teaches at the California State College, L.A., and is a research chemist at the same. He is our Ben Yochid, an only son, and so we are grandparents, and for the first time.
Phillip Bonosky and I had lunch together about a week ago. Phil is having trouble getting his work published. He spoke of your review of his Fern book, which I have not read as yet. I have read his "Burning Valley" and believe it to be one of the best industrial novels of the 1950's.
Is there something you can do for him? What about a publisher in the territory covered by the Sage of Moberly? Phil needs a shot in the arm: Crown has rejected his manuscript, though Millen did put up a fight for it in his quiet way.
