Dear Dr. Sammet:

\J 
Perhaps you recall receiving a  letter that I had written 
to your predecessor, bemoaning a  review of my book (CR #33,690 
--copy enclosed). You  responded kindly, as one who had been through the
rigors of book reviews before, suggesting that it would be possible to
seek a "second opinion". As a languishing patient, I wonder if you
have been able to obtain additional medical diagnosis of the \F5Anatomy
of LISP\F1?
