Creator: Richard Eberhart
Description: Original typewritten letter, dated December 20th. 1978. The letter is from Richard Eberhart to Louise Kertesz. In the letter, Eberhart tells Louise that he has received her letter from December 14th, and he is glad that Rukeyser will be coming out. However, Eberhart is troubled by a phone call that he received from Father Morton if St. John the Divine last night asking who to substitute for Muriel next Sunday for a dialogue at his church about “water”. He said that Rukeyser fainted recently at Sarah Lawrence, and she is now in the hospital. Eberhart hopes that Rukeyser will get better, and will be able to enjoy Louise’s book when it comes out. Eberhart would also like to give Louise a blurb for the book jacket if she wanted one. He has also written to the press, showing them what he has written about the book, and he could make a blurb from that. What Eberhart wrote to the press has been enclosed in the letter. Eberhart ends the letter by asking Louise whether or not that would be in order.
