Dear Hildie:
Well, no need to feel honored by my sending you CRIMES. I JUST WANT TO ENTERTAIN YOU (Remember the song? “Let me entertain you…”). The thing should serve SOME purpose. Since I decided to rewrite the other, why send it? Let me see if I like the rewrite better than the original.
Halfway committed to drive to No this evening for a book signing by our friend Chris Vella, who wrote a biography of George Washington Carver. I’d love to see her. She’s a very talented historian.
God, things are dead here. I wish we’d get another project.
Take care.
Love,
M
