Dear [[w:Edmund Skellings|Ed]],<ref>Skellings, then a professor at the [[w:University of Alaska system|University of Alaska]], Fairbanks, and an admirer of Mailer’s work, met Mailer at an ''Esquire'' symposium at the [[w:University of Iowa|University of Iowa]] in December 1958. He saw Mailer again when Mailer visited Alaska in early April 1965; Mailer drew on his impressions of the visit for his 1967 novel, ''[[Why Are We in Vietnam?]]'' Mailer turned in the third installment shortly after the first one appeared in ''Esquire'' in mid-December.</ref> | |||
This is just a note because I have to start tomorrow on the third installment of the novel I’m doing in serial for [[w:Esquire (magazine)|''Esquire'']] so I’m trying to drive the bulldozer through my mail. | |||
I can’t answer your questions the way they should be answered—I did however send your manuscript to Walter Minton yesterday, who’s my publisher at [[w:G. P. Putnam's Sons|G. P. Putnam’s Sons]], and told him that you were interested in rewriting it. So let’s see what happens there. | |||
