New address. 'Cross the river and 'mong the trees. Spickert Knob Road Route 1 Floyd Knobs, Indiana Aug 30, 1958 Dear Jack:

    This summer I've found myself no place further than Sullivan 16 miles away  It's been my longest stint sticking to a desk, and in this weather often no metaphor.  Done up, old critic style, Ivy Compton-Burnett, Graham Greene, Rose Macaulay, Evelyn Waugh.  Maybe you saw my C. P. Snow in the underlined:  Saturday Review, July 9.  Pretty badly cut up but Snow liked and a lot of other letters underlined:  saying so.  I just sent my A. Huxley chapter to the,.  Now on to teach, not so gladly, and, as I can, to continue with ______,  _______,  and God knows how too many others.
    Sorry about your son-in-law.  Apart from the sadness it must be a strain on you and on Gladys.
    Haven't seen anything of Nelson's because I don't get the underlined:  Trib or underlined:  Nation.   Me I read the underlined:  New Statesman and the underlined:  SR's I'm in.  Is Nelson out to become bad-boy critic of bad boys or what?
    New critic, to me most of the time,  is a bad name, though the bastards are elegantly intelligent
