A lot was going on. That day Bill Regier and I agreed that Johns Hopkins would publish the 2 volumes of the biography.
Left message at Harvard apologizing but withdrawing the manuscript. I was pissed because the editor had gone off to the Cape rather than reading my sample. I hope I can find the letter someone at Harvard wrote to me. How can I recollect? Well, it said I should be grateful because they have a great staff that re-writes all manuscripts that are submitted. I could be very sure that all infelicities would be removed. It went on that way. No way in Hell, I thought, no way in Hell will you ever publish a book of mine, even if your happy campy editor ever takes care of business.
