Contents

“Thank you for your letter and here’s your book…” Robert Coles sent him proofs of a review to appear in the New Yorker. Mentions another review: “I suppose by now you may have seen the thing in Esquire, I enjoyed the cartoon. Thought it showed a wit and discernment the reviewer [Geoffrey Wolff] could have used. Also the cartoonist managed to get all the words spelled right.” Answers Woolmer’s question about his writing process: “I normally use a typewriter (you asked) and I think you can see why.” Mentions that Random House has publishing rights for “the western” but that maybe Woolmer can publish an excerpt.
