Dear Admiral
I got back home last night in good order. I want to tell you how very much I am indebted to you for putting me in shape and, at the same time, relieving my mind of the fear that something more serious was the matter. There is still a bit of lameness in the instep but I believe I am going to get entirely free of it.
Now I know how generous you are and recall what you said about the proximity of Christmas, yet I would really like to see that you and Uncle Sam both have your dues. I felt myself mighty fortunate in having you above anyone else to look into the matter.
I stopped in New York and called on the Times people. They are certainly going to give our series which will begin on January first, a good send-off in their advertising. It rather makes me squirm to see some of the things that they are saying, but I know that they have the real interest of the material at heart, and I guess we have got to trust them. Now the only thing necessary is to try to keep up with the procession.
With best wishes to Mrs. Grayson and those fine kids, I am
RSB.
