Malheureusement Dada littéraire américain n'est pas assez représenté. (...) Dans Dadaglobe il y aura une grande partie documentaire, qui contiendra surtout des articles de journaux parus dans le monde entier. Je vous serais fort obligé si vous vouliez m'envoyer les articles sur DADA ayant déjà parus. (...) Je serai très content si vous m'écriviez de temps en temps ce que vous faites - cela m'intéresse beaucoup."
