To Edgar Snow
(March 10, 1937)
Mr. Snow:
I have been thinking of you ever since your departure. I trust that you are well.
My conversation with Smedley conveyed several new developments in our
policy, and I am hereby having someone send you a copy. Please have a look at
it, and spread the word for us. We are all very grateful to you.
Wishing you the best of health!
