User-Contributed Transcription Sept. 23, 1955Dear Lorraine - Just a brief one to tell you that the M'O.s came through all right, in the amount of seven. Impossible to tell you fully what a blessed loosening of the omnipresent tension that pervades this endless bit. Haven't heard from Dr. A in New York, assume he's far too occupied for random correspondence. Paul Warren is finishing another book (there is a drive that fills me with the most corroding envy) Mine will be done shortly - I've been sayin' that and sayin' it, but it'll happen. After this one, absolutely no message-type things or axe-grinders. Just bug-eyed, panting sweating efforts to amuse. That true about Kimion? Saints preserve us. More later in the week, baby, and a thousand salaams. So good of you.ever, JimJames Blake Box 221 Raiford, Fla #52603 - E32
