Dear Jan:

  Enclosed is a check for $25.00  $15.00 to be applied toward creatively circulating DMZ arrow from note in red ink:  Any suggestion where to send a copy or copies?  $10.00 to the kitty for helping launch the next project.
  I'll get back to you in the near future on where to send DMZs.  OK?
  If you don't have Jack Conroy on your list, please put him on.  Although the Chicago SUN TIMES doesn't utilize him anymore the way they used to and should, and he doesn't have a mass circulation outlet anymore, he still contributes reviews and reminiscences to the FOOLKILLER, the University of Missouri Press, and other voices of sanity.

  marginal marking of this paragraph with bracket and arrow  By copy of this letter to Jack, I'm asking if he has either WINNING or DMZ.  If not we'll see he gets one.
  I don't have the list I had you send Winning and DMZ to.  Do you?  If so, would you Xerox for me so I don't send dupes.
  Bill Ehrhart was in Chicago either last summer or the summer before, teaching I believe at the Chicago Circle Campus of the U. of I.  He mailed me his address and phone no.  I must have called him half a dozen times, never could reach him, mailed him one or two notes, never got a response.
  Could you send me his address and phone number?
  Good luck...hell, great luck on the new project!
  DAMN THE TORPEDOES!  FULL SPEED AHEAD!!
