Scope and Content
A four-page handwritten draft of a letter from James Acord to Janet Galore. Written on the back of an email printout from Philip Schuyler to James Acord dated 4 June 2002.
James Acord would often compose his emails by hand before committing them to email. This notes "cc bubba, carver, moody, putnam, luksch."
This letter describes: (1) work at the library for a monologue on "the Fourth Reliquary" and some recent drawings; (2) some details on James Acord's day-to-day life; (3) listening to KMPS station and losing track of time, working into the morning; (4) on sculptor Don Carver and Acord's ironworker friend "Rockin' Robin"; (5) on working at the library, drawing, and time spent on the library's word processor; (6) more on the Fourth Reliquary; (7) on a residency at the Starlight; (8) his dislike of words, coupled with his interest in William Blake's cursive forms.
The letter from Philip Schuyler to James Acord concerns a proposed meeting and an article on "radiological terror" from the New York Times that Schuyler wishes to share with Acord.
On the back of the third sheet is a list of defined terms from Websters 3rd New International Dictionary.
