In 1946, Dr. Bob S. [near right]
wrote a two-page note [below left]
to Ed W. [far right], presumably upon receiving some gems or jewels from him:
Dr. Bob’s reference to “your little book,” was to
The Little Red Book: A Suggested Outline for Reference and Study of the
Working Mechanics of the Twelve Steps
[right: cover]. Ed was the primary author, while Dr. Bob was one of several contributors
who assisted in its writing and editing.
My Dear Ed, –
The [illegible] reached me safely & thanks a lot for them. My jeweller [sic] is taking them to NY some time next month to see what can be done with them most advantageously. I imagine that the red one will wind up as a pendant. It was swell of you to send them. I have enjoyed your little book very much & know that it will prove to be of a lot of help to many. I had a number of letters & cards from folks at camp, [illegible], McCombs, Dr. Bennett, [illegible] Schneiders, Muenknoellers, et al. Wish we could go up next year but have serious misgivings about it. It does not look now as tho we could. Am following your advice and leave in ten days for Florida for a month.
Love to Hazel
Most sincerely
Dr. Bob
