March 13, 1974 Dear Mr. Conroy,

Thank you for your letter which I would have answered sooner but I was out of the country for a month. The University of Missouri Press did send me a copy of the review you wrote for "The American Book Collector", and I want to thank you for it. I have also received reviews from the Star and the Post-Dispatch, and from a few of the literary magazines. All of them have been favorable, for which I am grateful. I'm sure it would be an unhappy experience to receive a lot of "bad" reviews, no matter how philosophically you had promised yourself to take them. No, I have never submitted anything to "New Letters", and I couldn't find it listed in the "Writer's Market" which I use faithfully. I'm glad to receive the information though. Right now I am into a novel and haven't sent anything out for quite awhile, but I will keep them in mind.

Sincerely, signature Ann Jones Box 456 Three Rivers, California 93271 handwritten note at end of typed letter I just remembered that a long time ago - March 1962 - to be exact, "The University of Kansas City Review" published one of my poems titled "Heart Attack"; my name at the time was Ann Caswell.
