Jay Kaufman [1886-1957] replies to a letter from impresario James Pond who has proposed a lecture series. Kaufman agrees to Pond's terms for the series: "However, the one matter which isn't clear is the circulars and printed matter. Still, your letter reads that in the event of your undertaking any special mailing campaigns on my behalf, the mailing campaigns are to be mutually agreed upon before undertaking. This is satisfactory to me. On the whole I think you will find me very easy to deal with."<p>"Round the Town" was a musical revue produced by Kaufman which was due to open on May 23, 1924. Kaufman also wrote a column with the same name for the Evening Telegram.
