Summary
Concerning his manuscript for "RALEGH"; discussing where the copies of the manuscript are, it's readiness for publication, his feeling on where he is in his career and what he hopes to achieve with the publication of this book; commenting on the recent success of Kurt Vonnegut and his relative position; saying "...I'm not such a fool as to go around looking for either equity or justice. Not so arrogant as to demand it. Nor such a nut as to sit around waiting for Rumpelstiltskin to arrive, bearing gifts. I draw no inference from Kurt's experience, really, except that it can happen. Not even sure I would want it in my case;" saying he will send him a copy of the manuscript "...if you still want to see it. And see what happens."
