April 29, 1929.      Dear Mr. Maule:                    For fear you have forgotten the  conversation we had when I was in New York  City, that I would like to have number one  of the de luxe edition and that I had  promised  some of the people whose names I have sent in  to you that they should have the books very  close to number one, this is for your record.                    I would like to have you reserve for these friends of mine the first fifteen  and I will give you their names and addresses  >[handwritten] places> later, - just so that those fifteen would not  be promised to other purchasers.                    All good wishes for the progress of the book.                                    Sincerely,       NCR:ED
