Don-

How long can a ball-point pen last when one is on the
couch writing upside-down? Perhaps as long as this letter
does.

Have been in touch with Betsy Tunis (The baseball
researcher) & she says she will be ringing you soon. Be prepared.

Also, the publishing house in Peterboro is WILLIAM BAUGHAN.
They do art books (one on Barry Faulkner recently) &
[Written in margin: IN NOAH’S WAKE]
poetry books (cfs Allen Block). Stephen Greene, about which
we talked earlier, seems limited to recipe books &
unpredictable “specialties” —

Will stop before my pen does —

Yrs,

Wes

PS. Was that you I saw in The Blackwater Gazette?
My, what big eyes you have! Merry Christmas
to you both-

A note from McNair about this letter: Don had a baseball question for my friend, Betsy Tunis. He has also asked me to provide names of small New Hampshire publishers who might print a chapbook he had in mind.
