It seems a bit odd to me - like it's happening to someone else, someone in another town - but not unpleasant. Because I don't go to literary parties in NY, it's all something of an abstraction.'
- (18). [New Jersey], 21 September 2009. Autograph letter (1 sheet), with envelope. 'Today's the last of summer, and these are my last few days in the house I grew up in here on the Palisades.

- (19). [San Francisco], 9 March 2010. autograph letter (1 sheet), with envelope. 'It was a joy, and wonderful surprise, seeing you - shockingly briefly - in October. The visit to London was a tonic after so much heavy lifting - literally & emotionally - in Jersey.'
