Scope and content
First lines: "Thanks so much for your letter and the magazines. I appreciate your comments on the Cables."... Contents index: sending «Cables to the Ace» shortly - enjoyed Bredenberg's criticism / Andrea Pfeiffenberger [Andy Pfeiffenberger] / «Monks Pond» delayed - "monks are going wild printing a lot of new liturgy texts so what do they care about poetry? (And what do I care about liturgy?)".
