Abstract
An original, two-page typewritten letter, dated April 1976. The letter was written by Muriel Rukeyser to Louise Kertesz. Rukeyser begins the letter with "Dear Louise Kertesz." Apparently she had gotten a first "glimpse" of Louise at a poetry reading earlier that year at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts. In the letter, Rukeyser answers Louise's questions. She explains, for instance, that "Noguchi the scientist as a baby was scalded. The story goes that he was saved by his mother's care; she kept herself awake by propping up her eyelids."
