I am concentrating right now on getting the B. H. Roberts "A Book of Mormon Study" published. Things look very favorable at the moment. I have a meeting with B. E. Roberts this afternoon. He feels definitely in the mood to let the manuscript be published. I am going to urge him to arrange to have it published as soon as possible, before it is too late as far as I am concerned.

With any kind of luck, it appears that this long hidden manuscript might yet be brought to light. I haope it can happen before I am entirely out of the picture. Boberts told me on the telephone this morning that he had let his partner read the manuscript, and he thought it definitely should be published. This sounded pretty good to me, and makes me think that we will succeed in getting it done.
