Dear Pete:
Well, I guess you are glad it's all over, Although the
reviews were mixed and my people in Washington had
mixed reactions, the response by the public in inquiries
on how to take care of themselves was amazing. From
our point of view this certainly serves our purpose.
I want to thank everyone connected with "Alas Babylon”
for their fine cooperation, hard work and understanding
of my problem. It was a privilege and pleasure to work
with all of you. By the way, Adri promised me a
“broadcast script." I would appreciate your sending one
as soon as they are ready.
Again my best thanks and kindest regards,
Sincerely,
NSLinden:ibd
