        him at  the  conclusion. In full: "Congratulations,  &  thank
        you for,  Survivals. I was v. much moved by some of the poems
        abt Charlotte  and  several others; but the truth  is  that I
        can't really  read  the book at present because I am  working
        daily at  my long poem [THE DREAM SONGS] and can't hear other
        people:  to  my  shame  be it said, I have  a  part-shelf  of
        unacknowledged  volumes.  I'm  sorry.  I   hope  you  &  your
        handsome  lady are happy near the Gristmill, which we  loved,
        when I  worked  like a madman & where we hope to  return  one
        summer.  Best,  Yours,  John   Berryman."  Fine  in  envelope
        addressed by Berryman.                               $1500.00
