Dear Clarence Darrow:


I find I have been considerably delayed in answering your letter of October 13th, but I was uncertain about the date. I think either Thursday, November 12th, or Saturday November 14th, would be satisfactory for an evening engagement as far as I am concerned.


I would appreciate having my talk limited to about fifteen minutes and I would then like to introduce Mr. William T. Evjue and have him tell the story of his success in building up the Madison Capital Times. He has been through a hard fight here and is familiar with the difficulties of liberal journalism.


At the dinner perhaps we will have a chance to talk over some of the possibilities of the coming session of Congress.


With kindest personal regards,


Faithfully yours,


Philip F. La Follette
