NOOZ note/

I. Fritz von Unruh and Haas trying to start some sort of
pub/ house HERE and no reason visible to me WHY the two
shdnt. amalgamate.

POINTS I.

I don't say bein on the bloody BOARD / and I can
afford 25 bucks worth of shares ( i hope ).

2. YOU L.Z. will god damn well have to learn to write readable prose BEFORE you bore people to hell trying to write prospecti.

A COURSE in ad/ writing wd/ save yr/ once
young soul.

Until Haas gits bak from Spain, I suspend
details re/ merger / but he an Fritz are so pure an simple
hearted that I may be able to sell 'em the scheme.

Joyce and Yeats prob/ no use// Irish.

The idea is no good UNTIL you (L.Z.) start trying to
write simple readable prose.

At any rate you better cHmmm use that return ticket to
Europe before you tangle up any capital in a pub/ng venture.

The Ovid wd. cost too damn much to compose. For gardzake
consider the printer's BILL.

Test of sale got to be made
on something with small printers bill/

Say the trans/ of Cocteau " Mystere Laic ".

I've already thrown away "How to Read" on To debacle.

Rez/ Rex/ L.Z. etc. aren't authors that the pubk/ is
goin to crawl over itself to get at.

Bill Wms/ needs a pubr/ for his Poems.

Leippert is trying out a bit of pubk/ with his reprints
of handschrift.

The overhead, consisting of L.Z. at 50 a month equals
600 a year// if the firm cant last three years its no good

Nobody cd/ raise money HERE on the proposition.
