Moe writes that their long association has certainly influenced their channels of thought. He asks where the newspapers are that he requested Sylvia send him (the PM and NY Times). He enjoyed his recent Thanksgiving dinner immensely. He also mentions that he hasn't been to visit Mr. Shapiro because he's staying with Myron Ackerman and he doesn't want to bother Ackerman. He is surprised because he didn't know that Ethel Kross was in the hospital.
