Dear Vahan,^[1]

Just a note to thank you for your very good and fine letter. I’m up to my nose in the serial—since I have to keep two installments ahead of Esquire, I’m banging away now in the pits of the sixth installment, trying to avoid a let-down, and reminding myself I’ve only two to go, so forgive the brevity of this.

Best,

Norman
