Letter to Anita Silvey (June 7,
1986)
7 June 1986
Dear Anita,
Here’s my Second Look at
THE NARGUN AND THE STARS. It’s 1150 words by my count; hope
it will do.
Just one plea: if anything
is changed, even a comma, I’d like to approve it first.
And if you share your predecessors’ determination never
to publish a colon without capitalizing the word following it
(I used to bug poor Ethel endlessly about this) I’ll have
to alter a couple of the colons in this piece, because that uppercase
usage drives me batty. Sorry to be a pain.
Best regards,
[signed: Susan]
