Dear Jack: I apologize for the Stationery. It is not suitable to expressing my sorrow - and Patricia's - over the news of Gladys' death. We had not know about it until last week when I had a letter from the professor who is writing a biography of you. Must be a terrible blow. One way to ease it, I would hope, it to keep on writing, and Wixson says that you are doing that.
The good news in his letter is that there is now a new edition of underline The
Disinherited /underline with an introduction by you. I'd love to see it. What do you say we swap: My first book, underline Mount Allegro /underline for yours? Instead of an introduction I wrote a new chapter "Finale" for the edition published last year by Columbia University Press, its fifth publisher in 40 years. I see that Laurence Hill is still your publisher, and that is good - better than having had to cope with five different publishers (of which L. Hill was one).
Patricia and I have been here at the Virginia Center of the Arts (the Yaddo of the South)
for nearly five weeks, and
