Abstract
Original, typewritten letter, from October 9th, 1977. The letter is from Muriel Rukeyser to Louise Kertesz. Muriel states that she hopes that Louise has sent out the manuscript by now. Monica McCall has written to Mr. McGuire, and Rukeyser hopes that Louise hears good things. Monica says that she will give Louise any names she wants. Muriel asks Louise to let her know when she intends to come to New York. She is now planning poetry readings that will take place over the winter, so knowing the dates of Louise's visit will help her plan out her final schedule. Rukeyser will answer Louise’s questions in the interview when they meet, or on tape, "if it comes to the very worst." She warns Louise that she may be "slippery" when it comes to making such a tape: "I'm still avoiding a great deal; and by nature I would avoid that anyway...."
