Deah Sheri:

I am told your lad Wang now claims he is a communist and a black supremacist; Wang’s trouble is that he wants to make a sound and be heard irregardless of the cost…he made some kind of statement in the Golden Gater, a state college newspaper. Why in the hell a college newspaper should bother to announce the new-found so-called principles of Mr. Shift-with-winds Wang. With one wing communist and one wing black-supremacist he hopes to fly to fame, just as rubbing against Pound like a dog against the legs of the master he hoped some of it would rub off on Mr. Wang. Meanwhile he tries to make up his mind whether he is a homosexual or not…but on or off…not or no or yes…he dedicates each of his poems to somebody, somebody in power.

Why are they so hungry?

Your lad Jory writes…where is Sheri? she has vanished completely. It is evident you did not send him a copy of A & P, or he wd have your address. I did not give him your location as I figure you are too busy with the brush and the herbs and treegod. Sheri, you must not dump people like you do, like so much slag. I feel for poor Ernie, you built him so high, so very high, popping cookies and love into him, bloating him with joy, and then something went wrong—a premise somewhere was crossed, a Martinelli set of nerves jumped in the moonlight, and all the sketches you made of the lad while he pretended to sleep, all the preening and primping and fattening of his soft soul, and then—BANG!!!—you let him go, all the way back, and he will never be the same. You are too cruel and you should not be cruel to children. I am tough and I can see, I see out of my own eyes, and you cannot destroy me because you cannot mould me. I will destroy myself. But you must be kinder to children and dogs and half-poets and old men. I guess because Ez booted you you have to boot back but you are wrong wrong you can live without Ez and you can live
