Dear Mr. Knight:
As an also-ran once more this year,
I wish to congratulate you on the Pulitzer Prize
honor that you so richly deserve. This recog¬
nition of your editorials follows the recognition
that has long come from newspapermen generally.
Your winning the award this year
makes me all the more appreciative of your nomi¬
nating my work on the Detroit Free Press last
year. I remember your telling me, after you
had heard my entry received final consideration,
that your work had also almost won previously.
I want you to know, too, how much I
enjoyed the freedom, opportunities and challenges
that were mine on the Free Press, and especially
the chance to run the page during last summer's
riot when Mark was in Vietnam. If you come to
New York and have the time, I'd enjoy hearing from
you.
Again, my warmest congratulations. You
give the Pulitzer added statur^.
Sincerely,
(U
