Description: LETTERS are both on half-sheet Arion Press stationery: the first is dated 16 May 1988 and reads in part, "Congratulations on your retirement! Now you will have more time for your bookish pursuits. My own set of summer whites was retired in 1960 when I was released as a [Lieutenant Sergeant]. Nevertheless I'll salute you ."; the second is dated 9 February 1992 and reads in part, "Though I admire Robinson Jeffers' poetry and have mulled over what we could do for it, the treatments he has received from the Grabhorn Press and Wm. Everson seem to preclude Arion from taking him up."
