Thank you. Still awaiting several communications. It's always easy to spend someone else's money; but I'd be glad to serve in the position of David Lewis. I was told he was in touch with Soros. So maybe after the election, he'll admit to more fund-rating capability.

Both Brown and Hazelden seem beyond the acquiring stage, though I guess whoever paid all that for the Big Book early draft must have the will and the funds. Please keep in touch. I am in the process of aiding the donation of the papers Dan Anderson left at home with his wife, Marie, to the Brown University Collection, which is now turning in a definite biographical direction. Trouble is David is broke, and donors have gotten scarce. ernie
