Dear Jack,

I'm sorry about the delay. We see no problems with the program or the contract. I am returning the copy of the release that you sent us with this letter.
We are taping the program tomorrow afternoon but it will not be used until we get your permission.
Questions about this matter only arose because many Foolkiller members do not like or trust David Ray. Even so, I think we can work on this to the mutual benefit of all concerned.
Format of the show will be as follows

(Readings from First American Century Series Edition 2-63)
1 New Letters introduction
2 Reading from pp 30-32 on coal mine strike -
3 Sony: Ludlow mine disaster
4 Reading from pp 47-56 - death of Larry's Father
5 Readings from pp 62-63 - Christians trying to adopt children.
6 a miner's Obituary Song by Woody Guthrie.
7 Readings from pp 182-183 Railroad Dick ousting hobos from train.
