- (9). De Loach, Joan. [Buffalo], 28 June [1977]. Typed letter (1 sheet), with envelope. 'Thanks for the nice words about the anthology. Really sorry your pieces got confused. Allen hired a person to do most of the typing who had no sense of poetry and who was supposed to proofread'. Further comments on interest in Hopi culture.
- (10). De Loach, Joan. [Buffalo], 2 April 1980. Typed letter (1 sheet, with envelope), enclosing 'a short prose piece I wrote a few months ago' entitled 'Gregory Comes to Visit' (3 sheets), describing a visit by Gregory Corso. Letter refers to readings by Michael McClure and by Robert Duncan at Buffalo.
- (11). Disch, Thomas. New York, 13 May 1969. Typed letter (1 sheet), with envelope. 'Anyhow I'm going to a nutty Reichean analyst, whom I thoroughly disapprove of, but who seems to be helping me get inside myself where I keep all the black muck.' Has done little writing 'since the stint of it last spring in London. The television-novel doesn't count.' Harwood's 'nice words about CAMP C. came at a good time.'
- (12). Disch, Thomas. New York, 4 August 1969 (postmark). Diary pages in a grid (January and February) with typed entries (1 sheet), several referring to Harwood. On the verso, a printed black and white image of two red indians, 'Trailing-the-Enemy and His Wife, of the Kiowa Tribe.' With envelope.
- (13). Disch, Thomas. New York, 7 September 1970. Brief typed note (1 sheet), with envelope, enclosing 4 black and white photographs (each 90 x 125 mm) taken at the Statue of Liberty (1 of Disch, 3 of Harwood).
- (14). Disch, Thomas. Minneapolis, Minnesota, 15 March [1973], addressed to Harwood in Boston. Typed letter (1 sheet), with envelope. Disch's poem 'You and I: a Sonnet' appears on the verso. Frustrated by being able to only read fragments of Harwood's The Long Black Veil 'scattered (like Osiris) among various magazines'.
- (15). Disch, Thomas. Minneapolis, 10 May 1973 (postmark). Typed letter (2 sheets), with envelope. 'I'm behind with this book, which is doubling its intended length, but my editor is happy with it.' Thanks Harwood for 'kind words' about his poem 'The Mandarin'.

- (17). Duggan, Laurie. Faversham, Kent. 12 March 2007. Typed letter (1 sheet), with envelope. Working on 'a very long thing: a kind of calendar poem for the age of global warming.'
- (18). Duggan, Laurie. Faversahm. 12 April 2007. Typed letter (1 sheet).
- (19). Duggan, Laurie. Faversham. 8 August 2007. Typed letter (1 sheet). Writing 'a long overdue piece about Gael Turnbull's Collected' (for Jacket).
