Luther Burbank would be pleased to help support the plan laid out in Edgar Chambless’s book Roadtown, and promises to try to make time in his schedule to speak with a newspaperman on the topic. He tentatively gives permission for his previous letter to Chambless to be used, but expresses some reservations about having written the letter in a hurry. Burbank would be pleased to be a member of an advisory board, but laments that he only has 24 hours in a day.
