-Dear Mr. Weiss,
+Dear Mr. Weiss,<ref>A literary host at a radio station in New York, Weiss sought Mailer’s involvement in a couple of literary projects.</ref>
-By the time your letter was forwarded, it was August 19. But then in any case I couldn’t have heard your reading of de Chazal, since I’ve been up here in Provincetown trying to work on a novel, and don’t get WBAI as far as I know. At any rate, this gives me an opportunity to thank you for your letter, because it’s the first to come from somebody who did not like ''An American Dream'' at first and then went through the odd barrier of the book to like it. Most people seemed either to like it very much or to dislike it very much, and make that the end of it.
