Dear Dr Thompson

I ran across the original notes of that cowbarn poem
which I had promised to send you, so here they are. They
are just as illegible as anything else I have ever written.

I will also be sending you several copies of the Ford

Foundation's "PerSpectives" 4 which my friend J. Laughlin is

editing, and which has a piece by me in it—- in various lan-
guages. You probably get the American edition, but might
bike to have the others and we can't use it in the library
here.

With best wishes, as usual

Sincerely yours in Christ
