Dear Judge Keith:

Seasons greetings. PIease give my warmest regards to
your family.

By the way, have you ever retrieved a copy of the photo-
graph Jim Coleman has of the three of us? I am even
more interested in getting a copy now that my big mouth
has been emblazoned by an unkind Esquire photographer.
I an eager to show people how demur and respectable I
once was and can be, if I just keep the right company.

I hope to see you on my next trip to Detroit, which may
be as soon as the second week in February if the students
at the University of Michigan fo11ow through on an invi-
tation they have extended.

My verlr best for the New Year.

Guinier
