Christmas Day 1970 Dear Jack,

 So nice to have your card! Yes, indeed we got your review of the book in Panorama and Phito was

so glad about it! He was ill, though, and did not even get to go to his own publication party - He had a terrific chest congestion (pneumonia?) and was in hospital for 11 days in Brooklyn, then we sprung him loose & came home, by end of June it was well!

 When shall we meet? All goes well. Farrar Straus will being out a juvenile (18 folk stories from Haiti)

The singing Turtle and Other Tales from Haiti in May 1971. I translated them & it was fun to do. Phito is 66 yrs. old - beautiful as ever.

  t.s.v.p.
