Dear Aldo: 
I am sorry to hear the discouraging news from Alfred Knopf but 
know you will be successful in placing the essays elsewhere. Wy 
enthusiasm hasn't dwindled a bit and I'm hoping to get more time for 
the illustrations when 1947 is over. 
Perhaps it would be wise if we had several of the illustrations 
available for one or two of the essays to accompany the manuscript 
when you send it to a prospective publisher. WUhat do you think of 
this idea? I have been working on several illustrations and when I 
have more finished will send them on to you. I intended to send 
some other examples but have been using them for my Hawaiian report 
and just couldn't find the time to part with them. 
Sincerely,
