Hello,
I was truly impressed with the story on Pequin. You are really a gifted writer–the images are both poetically elliptical and vivid. I plan to order your book later today!!

Hi,
Not a comment, but an enquiry about who might be interested in my omnibus edition of Les Viveurs d’Autrefois (published Paris, I guess cc 1880), together with a companion volume, Louis Dépret, Trois Amours, Paris 1881?

I SENT THIS SAME MESSAGE TO YOUR EMAIL.
I just talked to Barbara & Robert laMorticella. The talked to Stella today, who said that John has died of his polio complication.
My husband and I were very close to John at one time and lived both near and with them in Petaca, NM [1971].
We last saw John at Loha’s memorial but also had a great visit with him in Santa Fe in 1992.
We loved him very much. We had many long talks with him. He was one of the great conversationalists.
He introduced us to Nanao in Petaca.
He made wonderful art, that inspired us, though we less developed artists.
I had heard of his polio syndrome problem.
I am so sorry to never get the pleasure of his company again, but he has always remained vert strongly in my memory.
I am sorry for your grief now and for not being able to get a chance to make his life more comfortable.
Many of John’s friends will die poor also. Poverty doesn’t bother everybody, unless there is pain and want for sustenance being a part of it.
But we children grieve for what we couldn’t help our parents to achieve, and just grieve for them being gone.
