Jan. 13, 1953.Dear Nelson,A few spitballs from a disorderly kitchen. See what you think.What do you think of the 49,000 missing militarists who went over the fence? Ah youth, insouciant, insurgent! There is yet hope.Ever,Blake.Box 31,Oconomowoc, Wis.P.S. The thing about the Bedevilled Baptists is coming, but slow.P.P.S. Received your letter just as I was about to mail this. About payment from La Prensa, I am indifferent and again, I am not. Not, because of the cost of my present post-moonpause affair is soaring (how do they learn so goddam fast?). But it was gratifying, in a weird way, to have them published at all, and it was a kind of thin-end-of-the-wedge, perhaps. But the failure to send me even a copy of the thing or to answer my letter, even as hobbledehoy as it was, seemed a shade contemptuous. de Beauvoir ma y be busy, but I wrote to Doris Day and got an answer and a picture, too.Your relegating of the Shores of Light reminds me that I have not yet re-read The Golden Arm. But for a different reason. I think I am afraid to find out how inept I really am in the business of words.The news about Paris is dismaying. Whatever will I do for guidance? As for Julius and Ethel, I wish you would stay out of those loaded issues. Easier to defeat by deceit than hollering. over
