Private.

Dear Charley—

Suppose you put in an hour or two of your time for me at one of the big advertising agencies where they keep full files of the danl daily papers. Just quietly copy off & send to me every reference remark which the Tribune has made about me since the end of October, up to present date. Keep your own counsel; say nothing to anybody about this. As I understand it, these remarks have usually been brief original paragraphs on the inside pages, & borrowed slurs on the other pages. Copy them exactly, punctuation & all; & give the origin of the borrowed ones.

Ys Truly
