LITTLE GRAY PLANNER, 1965

 File — Box: 142

Scope and Contents

CREDITO HIPOTECARIO. Got this from a bank in Guatemala City. First few pages have notes on Sterile Cuckoo screenplay. Then nothing 'til March 8, 1965 when each page lists chores to do in N.Y. March 19-27, 1965 has schedule of my bus trip to California with fiancee Ruth "Ruby" Harding. Then it's busy in NY up until April 9, 1965 which says "GET MARRIED." We did. After that it's pretty sketchy. May 22 says, "Have novel completed." July 20 says, "Take book to Targ," the editor-in-chief at Putnam's; "book" is my second published novel, The Wizard of Loneliness. There's a few addresses in back; notes for friend John von Bergen's wedding; and a page of pool scores from games at Milady's Bar on Prince Street played with my friend Alan Howard.
