Dear Jack,

On the bonus day of the year, I'm sweating out a Mardi Gras party's folly. So to pen and ink - as always. .

Some advice, if you please. Flooding a Caribbean cruise, I was able to catch some of that island atmosphere (I hope) in a little story, about 1300 words, called "A Moment of Lore in Jamaica". Actually there was enough material for several little tales with provocative titles and wispy charm.

Is there a market anywhere for that kind of fiction?

Always nice to get your announcements, and to hear your good comments. My best wishes to Gladys.

If you ever see our friend Nelson?, give him also my very best.

Cordially, Claire LeBrent 549 W. Aldine Chicago 13 unclear
