User-Contributed Transcription Nov. 13, 1952Dear Jack - Where are you, shy wahn? I do not hear.I've been told that the issue of Temps Moderne containing The Emotions of an American Nothing is out, and that you, touched by angels, have seen it. Do you know where I can get a copy?I read Tennessee Williams' Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone recently and haven't been so impressed by anything in a long time - the fresh imagery, the unabashed lyricism[s?], the flow and motion of it - and nowhere the stale and assured glibness of so many established ones.How did the election suit? We are all going underground, and would love to have you. Bring your bicycle, and some bread and cheese.Yours,Jim BlakeBox 31,Oconomowoc, Wis.
