Cher Escrivain-
I believe you
have correctly estimated the
gay syndrome as it applies to
literature. I believe that Walt
Whitman was gay but I am
dubious about Mark Twain.
To each his own, I say, to coin
a phrase. Truman and them cats
can do as they please. But leave
us have less of the manly posturing.
Enclosed occurred
yesterday. One hour after I left
for my gig (10:30 AM) Kimion[?]
called Gertrude. Has the day of
retribution arrived. I'll kill the
stool pigeon cunt if she fuck with my
sumpin' to eat. Yrs, Geo B. & [?]
