Replying to a 4-question questionnaire that relates to the author's current work; saying he is working "on another books of scraps, analects, or whatever it is, to be called NOTES 2. An excerpt will be in the summer issue of New Mexico Qrtrly...Am also doing another Leon & Bebert. Don't have any 'long-range' plan; confusing enough to think about tomorrow;" replying to a question about whether he has any work from which an excerpt could be published in Esquire, mentioning "A Cottage Near Twin Falls" and "The Scriptwriter;" adding that "The Scriptwriter" was "bought" by the Paris Review "but has still not paid-for or printed it.
