 Letter from Irving Shapiro to Howard Shaff August 14, 1984 English Stories Irving Shapiro Shaff, Howard Shapiro, Irving Gering, Nebraska Shapiro, Irving Gering, Nebraska Shaff, Howard Review Transcription and initial encoding August 14 - 1984 Dear Howard;

I received your letter today and as you can see I'm not waisting any time in replying.

The main reason for being so prompt, is that I dont know how long you plan to stay in this part of the country, so as we can get together and discuss this mather. We are only about 160 miles apart.

For quite a few years I have been prompted by my children and freinds to write the story every time I mention something about my past. My reply is always the same; I can talk about this to you people, but I can not put it on paper and be understood and legible by strangers. If I could only find someone to to listen to me, and be able to write — I. would.

Well; It seems this is ment to be.

I would like to get together with you at your convenience and discuss this a bit further.

You are welcome to come to Gering and spend as long a time as it takes to get the ball rolling. We have plenty of room.

I beleve somethink can be worked out.

Best regard; Sincerely Irving I have an answering machine at the house, if I am out.
