Letter to Naomi Long Madgett January 10 1984

Resource added
A better address: 340 E. 90th St., 3B New York, N.Y. 10128 10 January 1984 Dear Naomi * I take pleasure in ignoring part (*) of this letterhead, as a sign of the fact that I have joined the ranks of The Retired: had my "retirement luncheon" at CCNY before Christmas, almost forgot about it on France on holidays, received from my Black literature class a farewell present (a green vase tied with a green ribbon and filled with thank-you letters from all the students). After turning in grades in a day or so, that's IT. Two reasons for this note: to wish you and Leonard and yours a HAPPY NEW YEAR, with not too much work or worry, and to ask you to send me 20 copies of CHISEL, please. One more things (not a bad mistake): please keep in mind my request for--in connection with CHISEL and BOWL--the kind of copyright form you sent me regarding BLACK MAN ABROAD. One of my winter projects, in preparation for my departure from the USA in the spring, will be the getting together of such documents concerning my workds. No exciting news here--but I don't any. The anticipation of be- beginning to write poetry again in springtime, quite imaginably and even probably in Paris, is better for me than sunshine and good weather. Tell me a little of your news and literary plans when you can. Warmest regards, Jim
