Summary
Saying that he is enclosing the notes for the novel and that he is a little disappointed at a certain schematism they seem to imply and "at their inadequacy to convey what I think of as basic to my notion of the book, action, visuality, the pathetic and the humorous, the sense of life lived day by day."
