The Body in the Book

[Letter to the Editor, The Saturday Evening Post, 14 June 1947]

I worry about things I read in the magazines. ...

Dick Ashbaugh [Post Scripts, May 10] presses a body, like last summer's rose, between pages 35 and 36.
  

"Under the impact of a body pressed, like last summer's rose, between pages thirty-five and thirty-six I have seen my own wife grow glassy-eyed. ..."
  

I have succeeded in crushing the cadaver between pages 34 and 35. Also between 36 and 37. But not between 35 and 36.
