Dear Mark--Went to the horse races Monday decided to apply my new irrational 'system' of betting my age in perfectas & in the very 1st race on which I did so 45 came in paying $269.80 for $2. Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary--fantastic! Perhaps I should switch to betting 23 now. I might as well amuse myself if possible--I don't seem to be able to concentrate on any 'work' here: it's climate & family I think. Love Don." On pp. 40-41 there are some light pencil edits to the poem "The Missing Person" likely in either Justice's or Strand's hand. A meaningful presentation copy with some correspondence that sheds light on Justice's life in the years following the publication of his fourth book of poetry. Wesleyan University Press hardcover
