Congratulations on a lovely and well-deserved article in the latest New Yorker. As a modest customer of long-standing, let me add that the Argosy (including all of you) has provided me with countless hours of pleasure and pleasant discovery over the past 30+ years. My bookshelves, my mind and my life have been enriched by you all. Thank you,
I have just received John Ruskin's "The King of the Golden River" by this morning mail. Thank you very much for your kind arrangements.
