Gil Wilson’s Tour           

The executive committee has agreed to allow use of the Society’s name as a sponsor of the tour which Gil Wilson will make this winter and spring to exhibit his illustrations of Moby-Dick and publicize the forthcoming motion picture based on Melville’s plot. The Society will assume no obligation of any kind in relation to the tour. Wilson expects to speak at many schools and colleges in all parts of the United States and to use colored slides with his talk. He has [“even” crossed out] [“generously” added by hand] suggested the possibility of selling, auctioning, or raffling the original copies of his illustrations as a fund-raising device for the Society’s treasury. Expenses of his tour will be paid, of course, by John Huston, producer of the motion picture.
