<p>Dear Inglis: </p>
<p>I'll let you off about that Christimas book but I want you to write me a twenty minute "program" that I can use at my meeting of the Society next December in Raleigh. While our meeting will come this time on the last day of November it is near enough to bring in Christmas. </p>
<p>Here's what I would like to do. Fix a small stage at each end of the ball room so that one skit could be getting ready while the other was changing. </p>
<p>Four skits or playlets written by four very famous people each to run about twenty minutes. I will look after the staging and the music and of course there should be right much music . Here's what I hope to have- </p>
<p>I. Christmas at Edenton by Inglis Fletcher </p>
<p>II. Christinas at Old Salem by Paul Green </p>
<p>III. Christmas at Old Brunswick by Kermit Hunter </p>
<p>IV. Christmas at Bath by Don Tracy (or maybe I'd have to do this one). </p>
<p>Let me know what you think of the scheme and please help me. </p>
<p>Sincerely </p>
<p>[Signature] Edmund </p>
