Summary
Explaining that he is in Wainscott and only gets mail "when someone stops in the NY apartment & notices it"; remarking that this "may be too late for [Markson's] Guggenheim application, where [he] may use [Gaddis's] name"; adding that he has "noted a greatly declining number [of fellowships] going to fiction writers compared to the old days, compared to film music & academic projects, all capped by what ... must be a greatly augmented number of applications because of threats to federal state &c funding for the 'arts.'"
