Pond that his lecture tour is going very well, particularly in Cincinnati, where the Women's Club is sponsoring a big show for him at the leading bookshop and want him to return in the fall. He asks "Bim" to get in touch with three women who have good connections with their local organizations, in particular Ruth Neely [with whom he is staying in Covington], who is a close friend and is "one of the two or three really important journalists in this entire section of the country". He also refers to the publishers Farrar and Rinehart: "I don't know what arrangements if any you've made with John Farrar, but if you don't fix things up satisfactorily with him, I'd suggest forgetting about Farrar & Rinehart for the present, fix up the announcement as you want it, and send me the bill."
