S. Junkunc, III Chicago, Illinois May 2, 1958

Dear Mr Junkunc:
...I write this letter to you with great heaviness in my heart. By now you will have no doubt heard the
sad news about our friend Alfred Salmony.
On October 25th 1957 Alfred wrote to me “If I should disappear before finishing my book, all existing
chapters ought to be in final shape….You and Junkunc should edit the book if I am gone”.
Yours sincerely

Desmond Gure

史蒂芬•瓊肯三世 芝加哥 伊利諾伊州 1958年5月2日
尊敬的瓊肯先生：
我心懷沉重地給您寫下這封信，想必您亦已知曉關於我們摯友 Alfred Salmony 的不幸消息。
1957年10月25日，Alfred 曾致信給我，信中提到「如果我在完成編寫這部書之前不幸與你們辭別，目前完成的所有章節應已確認......
如果我走了，你和瓊肯應該繼續編寫」。

附頌清安
Desmond Gure
