L. Ron Hubbard typed letter signed. On his personal stationery, he composes a letter to sci-fi pioneer Forrest J. Ackerman, aka ''4e''. Dated 12 May 1979, letter reads in full, ''Dear 4e, I have a lot to be thankful for: All the literature, the Garland check for FINAL BLACKOUT, the two copies of SCHIAVI DEL SONNO and the Fawcett royalty statement. Fawcett sure can't be pushing or marketing FEAR to have made so little on it. I could sell more than that on a New York street corner. I enjoyed the literature. From your Ackermanews I sent AEV a birthday card to wish him well. Hope he got lots and had a great day. Speaking of birthdays, I should probably check my records and see if I have yours. (I don't want to miss any memorable occasions!) At a glance, I don't believe I have a record of your exact birthdate, just that it's around November, I think. You'll probably find that I'm sending you a bit of traffic. It seems like all of a sudden a few people are writing to me about my non-Scientology writings which they want to make a TV Series out of or a movie or other exploitation. Knowing how varied your skills and interests are, I'm confident to have you negotiate and handle on my behalf. Do keep me posted on how everything goes. Take care, my friend. Always looking forward to more news from your corner of the world. Love, [signed] Ron''. Signature appears in green ink. Single-page letter measures 7.25'' x 9.25''. Irregular top edge and crease through the center, else near fine.
