Mary Jane and Ray Shoultz were acquaintances. Mailer’s letter to her confirms the fact that Esquire usually appeared approximately two weeks before its cover date. It also demonstrates his eagerness for feedback on the opening installment.

Dear Mary Jane,
Dear Mary Jane,
I’m buried in mail today so this is just a line to ask you to let me know what you think of the first installment of the serial, which should be out about the time you get this letter. That is, if you have the time in your own busy life.  
 
How is Ray? I take it he’s completely recovered. I certainly hope so.

Those places take forever.

Dear Mary Jane,

I’m buried in mail today so this is just a line to ask you to let me know what you think of the first installment of the serial, which should be out about the time you get this letter. That is, if you have the time in your own busy life. How is Ray? I take it he’s completely recovered. I certainly hope so. Don’t worry about the delay at Random House and Esquire. Those places take forever.

Best for now,
Norman
