“I aint afraid of death any more either.”
“Something terrific happening to me,” Jack writes in this apostrophe-free summer letter. “Buddha led me on to further happy discoveries that I'll tell you about come fall.” He had stopped drinking, at the VA doctors’ urging,
[A]nd boy do I feel good… strong all over, and mainly, glad. [...] aint got no money, intend to be a good tao bum and have no affairs… Tho this doesnt prevent me from wanting with all my excited happiness to be in denver this summer with you and bev and everybody and lay around the cherry blossom lawn in the after noons, but i have no money and i’m working hard on sixteen thousand different projects. so i ll see ya this fall anyway, ok?
His recurring dream of Hal was a warm, scholarly vision from college days. Jack reports that New World Writing has taken his jazz stories (but noting that he plans to change his writing name), and leaves me with a quotation from Tao XX, “The World and I,” to explain “something terrific” that was happening to him.
