It might find a crack among all the longer 'musts' (Clark, 1909-1971, did not write fiction for the last 20 years of his life). Sincerely Yours, Walter Clark. P.S. My flamboyant letter head is a product of the job shop of the famous old 'Territorial Enterprise.'" Folded for mailing, a bit of handling wear at the upper corners, in Very Good condition.…
