I can see that you wasn’t only reviewing a book when you wrote what you did. You put something down that you wanted people to know and you wouldn’t of cared if you’d had to pay to get that writing out....It’ll please you to know that ‘Lone Cowboy’ is going great. If I’m to do any more work I can only answer but one fifth of the good letters I get from readers who praise it. So you got a lot of backers on what you said in your review. All around, I’m pretty daggoned tickled....” With the original envelope. With Louden Kelly’s ownership signature. Front hinge repaired, a used and read copy in a very good first issue dust jacket.
