Dear Jack,

Please forgive my failure to attend those socials you were so kind to invite me to. Due to the wounds of the sheer drudgery of struggling writing, I would have made a disgraceful appearance. It is better for the name of Conroy I failed to show. I have been winning a great of publicity and kinds words, but no money. I 'm just stuck with a dream of being a playwright -- against a group of merciless playreaders and producers. Oh--But you know all this Jack!

Soon as I once more an back on my feet, I will visit the house of complexes. This summer, Muriel comes to town and wants to meet you. My novel is coming along at a nice pace
