My dear Ezra,
I return the enclosed card or memo. Would you oblige with
further particulars? WHO is Lynch? Irish? WHAT female talent,
besides Weaver?
MR Pallister's communication shall be used. I had overlooked
the Anglo-French Society, Ltd., you read the papers more thor–
oughly than I do. Burnham is aJew merchant, named Lawson (sc.
Levi-sohn?)
Upward lo answers on Club paper and asks me for the one day
when I said I could not come. Businesslike?
I have been invited by female VANDERVELDE to contribute
to a reading of pOETS: big wigs, OSWALDll and EDITHl2
Shitwell, Graves l3 (query, George?) Nichols, and OTHERS. Shall I
oblige them with our old friend COLUMBO? or Bolo, since
famous?
or
One day Columbo went below
To see the ship's physician:
"It's this way, doc" he said said he
I just can't stop a-pissin" . . .
King Bolo's big black kukquheen
Was fresh as ocean breezes.
She burst aboard Columbo's ship
With a cry of gentle Jesus .
After all, you say nothing about the Dear old Men l., so I sup–
pose you want to get Out of it.
Yrs ever
TSE
