June 5, 1983

Dear Jack Conroy,

Harry Barnard considered you a top man in the roster of people he cared about. And now I have to write to tell you, if you hadn't heard before this, that that remarkable, wonderful guy so many people loved, is gone. Last August 26, he simply slipped away, within seconds, clipping the N.Y. Times ... The other evening, while going through some of his papers, I came upon your address, and that is how it happens I'm sending this note. All these months have passed, and I still can't absorb the fact that he's gone. A terrible loss to friends, scholarship, children, American literature.
