I have just read an account in the Chicago Tribune concerning an aerial train composed of at least 9 units shaped like a pie-plate and silvery in color, traveling at 1200 m.p.h. near Mount Ranier, as witnessed by you while flying in the vicinity. This is quite important to me, because I have in my possession numerous independent confirmations of what you saw, although none in as great detail as your account. I em interested in publishing an article in our magazine, written from a personal account by yourself, and accompanied by pix of yourself, plane, and rough sketches by yourself, of what you saw. If

you care to do this

for me, I am prepared

to pay our usual

rates of 2d perword, plus $5.00 for each photograph you can provide, to

illustrate

or for the

each sketch which

can be used by our art

article.

Included in this material, we'd like a short biographical sketch of yourself as Ieuthor background" material. The article would appear under your by-line. If you are not interested, I letter from you, confirming

would at least appreciate the newspaper story. Very truly
