Listen, I don’t get it. Why don’t you get a babysitter? As I remember, labor in Spain, housemaids, babysitters, etc., is unbelievably inexpensive. Certainly it will cost you a lot less than taking care of Maria Morales’<ref>Maria Consuelo Morales was the mother of [[w:Adele Morales|Adele]] and Joan Morales.</ref> passage and incidental expenses. Besides, I don’t think you know what you’re getting in for. It’s one thing to dominate her when you’re around, and it’s another thing to dominate her when you’re on the set and she’s sitting around chatting at home with Joanie. So think twice, amigo. | Listen, I don’t get it. Why don’t you get a babysitter? As I remember, labor in Spain, housemaids, babysitters, etc., is unbelievably inexpensive.

Listen, these are my plans. I’m going over to England for the publication of ''An American Dream'', and will be there a week or two. Maybe I’ll take on a trip to Italy or Spain for another week or two. That depends on a hundred different things—whether I go alone, with [[w:Beverley Bentley|Beverly]], with Beverly and [[Michael Mailer|Michael]], all sorts of things that are too hard to answer at the moment. But anyway, I’m just about positive I won’t be over before that. So probably I’ll be seeing you in Rome rather than in Spain. Or maybe we can meet at a ski resort. There are enough possibilities, aren’t there. | Listen, these are my plans. I’m going over to England for the publication of ''An American Dream'', and will be there a week or two.

Hey, one bit of news. Irving Shulman has the same agent I do, and wanted to meet me.<ref>[[w:Irving Shulman|Irving Shulman]] was a novelist whose agent was also [[w:Scott Meredith|Scott Meredith]].</ref> We couldn’t get together, but did talk on the phone, and of course he asked all about you, and listened with interest, and I get the impression he’d like to hear from you. So if you’re in the mood, drop him a letter in care of Scott Meredith, 580 Fifth Avenue, New York. | Hey, one bit of news.
