Summary
Writing that his "friend and publisher, Bern Porter," told him Rodríguez Feo was interested in publishing his work in Cuba; asking if this is true, and wondering about whether he will be able to publish "obscene writings": "I didn't know, to begin with, that obscene literature could be mailed to Cuba. If so, hurrah! Secondly, I am dubious about your ability to publish openly (in a magazine) obscene writings"; asking if Rodríguez Feo can print a long story in installments and if he is able to pay his writers; requesting a back number of the magazine [Orígenes].
