Dear Mrs. Leopold: 
 
A Sand County Almanac is published today and we have started 
with an excellent review from Lewis Gannett (one of the best 
in New York) in this morning's Herald-Tribune. I enclose it 
I know you will be glad to see it. 
 
out well 
reviewers here 
herewith, as 
 
I was very much surprised to read that Mr. Gannett had never heard of 
Aldo Leopold before. That is indeed strange, considering his frequently 
demonstrated interest in books on nature. I like to believe, and I am 
sure it will turn out to be the case, that a great many others will make

as exciting a discovery in your husband's book as Mr. Gannett has. 
With kind regards, 
Yours very sincerely,
