Dear Mrs. Fry : 



Thank you for your letter of March 5 and the accom 

 panying outline. 



My ideas on this project have been slowly crystall 

 izing. I have decided that I do not want to attempt the tape- 

 recorder plan but I shall be glad to prepare a concise manuscript, 

 It would follow the general plan covered by your outline, with 

 some additions, such as my experience in the CCC program, the 

 Forest Survey and the war-time Alaska spruce production project. 

 I should probably want to include some other individuals in my 

 comments . 



I would have to stipulate that the manuscript would 

 not be subject to much editing. I would want it to be my own 

 style, my own expressions; otherwise it would hot be my product. 

 In other words, it would be my Ownri story, much the same as an 

 oral account, the value of which you spoke of in the first full 

 paragraph on page two of your letter of January 28. 



I, should also wish to be free to furnish copies to 

 other &quot;archivists&quot; if desired. 



Now, this plan may not be agreeable to you, and, if 

 so, you are perfectly free to reject it; but I still would not 

 want to undertake the tape-recorder method. So, let me know. 



Copy of this letter is going to Edkotok. 



Very sincerely yours, 

 &quot;OvrsvJ^H V-Q
