Dear Jim:
Congratulations! ("Oh, frabjous day, calloo, callay" or something like that!) The
winter here has been so unfriendly so far that I have been especially happy that I didn't
have to drive those forty miles. However, I was so far behind in everything concerning
the press that I still haven't begun to catch up, in spite of putting in regular office
hours at my other house, which I am in the process of setting up as an office for Lotus
Press.
So far, since my last exam, I have gotten two books to the printer, have a third book
typeset and waiting for me to paste up the pages, and a fourth book (due out in April)
almost ready to be typeset. (Somewhere down the line, I hope to get a chance to work
on some of my own poetry, but right now I can't say when.)
I understand your concern about the copyright pages papers and promise that this night, before
I go to bed, I will have the application filled out for The Broken Bowl. As I send that
in, I will also request a duplicate of Chisel in the Dark. (I know it is here somewhere--
the original, that is--but it is probably filed with correspondence of that year which I
haven't been able to go through. Getting a duplicate may be easier than trying to find
the original.)
I wish you infinite joy and freedom in your retirement--and happy writing.
Most warmly,
[signature - Naomi]

P.S. One of my unfinished poems is tentatively entitled "Jim in Motion." I began it after
seeing you in Paris and noticing how much more vibrant you are in real life than your pictures](https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/system/resource/f/3/1/f31c42af-c8c9-4d18-8eb0-4e153d16ba6e/attachment/486f5a14f04e580033e5b1bbf43ad618.jpg)
