Initial attack repulsed - base camp established - second assault planned and attempted. Next fall could be either retreat to the Missoula job or my flag on the summit of the Empire State Bldg. We'll see! Anyhow - Doug & I are going to have a summer - this summer - in New York if it's humanly possible. You don't believe it? I'll bet you a boat trip around the island. If we do - you take us. If we don't we'll take you! In defiance of your head shaking & without respect for your experienced judgement of human fallacyCarolsketch of figure seated on top of Empire State Building waving flag marked C.H.left marginIt's odd how writing to you helps. If I'd mailed all the letters I've written, you'd have to enlarge your mailbox. I don't want to talk to Laina & your mailbox provides an innocuous outlet. Don't flatter yourself that it's an Emminent Author I'm writing to. It's your mailbox. (I never could quite digest the fact that you're a U.S.P. You're too real & not at all Fiedlerish.) If you were a deaf & blind centipede with a mailbox, I'd still write.right marginPriscilla once said last spring she thought I had the greatest capacity for happiness of any one she had ever known. Somehow tonight I have hope of recovering it and my sense of humor. You met me two months too late.[[bottom margin written sideways and upside downI do hope you're feeling happier & freer. When will legal proceedings start grinding?My last letter just came back. - Just as well. Only news - I'm not going to a psych. I got some stuff from a Dr. but am not using it much. Please send me your address.
