RAW letter (pdf) to Kurt who writes, “This letter dated June 3, 1987 is, I believe, the most instructive of the more than 80 snail mails I received between 1981 and 1995.  As I mentioned, most are prosaic accounts of Bob’s daily activity which consisted mostly of  writing.  It seemed like after hours and hours of creating masterpieces Bob enjoyed staying at the keyboard to write letters.  Indeed, writing kept his mind off the deleterious circumstances of relying on the undependable income of a free-lancer who is not yet appreciated by the establishment cognoscenti.”
