Dear Red

I'm working on revisions, which isn't really fun. This week I've had to come back to town because of the wedding of my friend Tony Williams, at which I'm to be an usher. The bachelor's dinner is being given tonight by the famous gourmet, Lucius Beebe. I expect to do very little work tomorrow.

I wonder if you've forgotten to send me that story about the two old maids in Pleasant Prairie which I think I called, 'They Shall Inherit the Earth.' I want to use it in my novel, since Little, Brown wants some less fantastic people in the novel. I'm sorry to bother you about this, but I know you're busy as hell these days. When you send it please do so in case of Tom Mabry at the Museum.

Tell Cinna that I saw Gloria Braggiotti at a party the other night. She is a beautiful Italian-American girl who looks like Miss Brescia. She's to be a bridesmaid in the wedding. She wore a cerise tapeta dress when I saw her, with a great wide skirt, and she said that she had designed it herself. She looked like the Empress Fiamstina. I also saw (or rather met for the first time) a very lovely looking girl from San Francisco named Florence Britton. She attended the University of California after Cinna and was, so help me God, a Kappa! Or was it a Theta? I've seen her frequently since, and tomorrow I'm taking her to a party.

I shall, of course, be in Oklahoma in time to greet you all.
Love to Cinna and yourself.
