Dear Wayne,
 
        I am hard at work on a biography of Pound that has occupied
my attention for quite some time now.  Before that I was working on
my dissertation which became EP and Italian Fascism.  In short, I'm
too busy.
 
                                                Cordially,
 
                                                Tim
