Summary
Reporting that he "called up [Bill] Eshelman at Scarecrow Press in Metuchen, N.J. and he distinctly remembers typing the Chronicle of Division as a reading script for a Fine Arts seminar at Waldport"; adding that he has "revised [his] estimate as to the year it was made. 1945 was the year, because the fourth section, the last set in this typescript, was not composed till then"; noting that "a final Fifth Section emerged the following year at Berkeley"; concluding by saying that his copy is "almost certainly deposited at the William Andrews Clark Library at the University of California at Los Angeles."
