Felloworker – 
Accidental receipt of you comm. -- I happened to be here -- may the Lord forgive me! - - in regards 
my “pastimes,” in the realm of literary-blossoms, being booklet material, my pardonable modesty 
permits me to agree with your deductions -- The grammar in some of my profoundest “searings” is 
very original and ingenious .. This much I will say I do believe is such a booklet was arrived at, 
during summer months, it would provide some sinews for greater and more substancial [sic] 
efforts along the particular lines you are following -- and which must be followed, in the future, if 
we expect to put other than borrowed garbage in to belly of parasite.  
 
Just at present am “indisposed” (not in high spirits) but I hope to be able to send you material from 
time to time. You are at liberty to print all, some or none, at your disgression [sic] -- I am not 
infallible.
