(Today Jane received the galley proofs of her ESP book, along with the original manuscript, from her publisher by special delivery. We noted that most of the typed pages of her script bore handwritten comments in the margins and on the back.

We had considered this possibility, although the publisher had not mentioned it to us.

(My drawing was actually a recreation of artwork that had been lost at Artistic Card Co. As often happens the original art was later found after I had duplicated it. The drawing was for a gummed sticker to be applied to a line of packaged cards of various kinds—religious, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc., and was for a large old department store in Philadelphia, PA, that goes under the cavalier name of John’s Bargain Store. As the copy of my tracing shows these stickers are applied to the appropriate merchandise at various times of the year.

(“Somehow cluttered, or full, and empty toward the outsides.” On the original tracing-paper drawing my pencil smudging on the back shows through easily, and gives the drawing a cluttered or crowded look in the center. By contrast it looks bare toward the edge of the circle. This is an effect I noticed at work while making the tracing, but the illusion disappeared on the finished art.
