This (below) is the best letter so far. They've all been subscriptions except for Vickers, who Mango told me not to talk to anymore anyway after what he did. Vickers, whatever else you want to say about him being talented or whatever, is a really ungrateful and tricky fellow. I won't miss getting letters from him telling me I don't do enough for ( Read more... )

Well, I sent it out-- the last of the regular Rools mailers.

I wrote it to entertain myself even more than usual, I like it better than any publicity I've sent out probably ever.
