'Helen [Cassidy] gave me your latest address, before going on vacation to Hawii [sic], so I'm writing to ask a favour. Would you still have any tapes from the 60s which we, as Stream, recorded? I know I sent you a Ginsberg in '65 (where recorded? ICA?) and one of Ed Dorn's at Better Books which records show was "P 003 A 01" whatever that means. Neither of these tapes survived the fire as far as I can see, although I'm still turning up stuff from later years.' (These recordings are not amongst the various reel-to-reel tapes received by the British Library together with Harwood's papers, although there are other recordings by Ginsberg and by Dorn - for details of tapes received, see the Collection level description for Add MS 88998.)
