“Of late I’ve been lamenting anew our late beloved master Doctor Samuel Johnson, reading him at lezzure in the hot Florida sunshine of my yard – and gadzooks whatta man!”
A bright and, for Kerouac, cheerful note for the New Year. In Florida, Jack had recovered from his summer blues and was reading anew his and White's “beloved” Samuel Johnson, a man “after both our hearts.” Jack rejected the accepted opinion that Boswell was a fool. “Isn’t that foolish?” His closing line, “See you in time,” could have meant never, but they finally did get together for a late night reunion several years later in 1964.
