TO WILLIAM BLACKBURN

July 11, 1962 Vineyard Haven, MA

Dear Doctor:

I’m delighted to hear that you’re coming and will be on the lookout for you at the dock in Vineyard Haven on July 26th. The 4:45 train to Wood’s Hole is scheduled to connect with the 5:00 ferry, which arrives in V.H. at 5:45. So I’ll be there. In the unlikely event that there should be a foul-up, keep in mind that our number is Vineyard Haven 625 (also listed in information under my name) and that our house is the Kennedy House on Hatch Road.

I have had an exhausting four days, having flown down to Oxford, Miss. to cover Faulkner’s funeral for Life magazine. It was quite an ordeal, mainly the plane travel which involved a lot of charter flights hither and yon, and an endless flight back home to Roxbury by way of Nashville, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, of all God forsaken places. Anyway, the piece will be out in next week’s Life and you might want to take a look at it.*kk

Had you decided to come earlier you would have had a presidential treat, for on Sunday night next His Supreme Grace and wife are coming over from Hyannis to take us out on the good ship Honey Fitz.*ll I don’t know exactly what kind of fixation Our Leader has on me (I still think it has something to do with Rose), but anyway I’m willing to string along with it so long as he pays for the groceries.

See you soon!
