rural winter -- supplies and mail so difficult of access and stiff [?] and chilb[?]. I could stand a few cocktails and taxis for a change. But this is the place for me to work -- and I'll be here indefinitely and unregretfully.

It's been great to have time for some reading and I've been delving into everything from Spanish history to New Bedford Whaling records, to D. H. Lawrence to Lord Bacon.

Meanwhile the scaffoldings for the Bridge jacknife [sic] upward a little and a few stanzas seem to have been evolved. Being actually paid to write poems in advance like this, however, is a weighty problem and this is for certain of acquitting myself as well as I hoped. So [?] me in your prayers!

All luck to you Charles, and write again soon.

Hart
