We have been carrying out our...Dear Mr. Vonnegut:<br /> We have been carrying out our ususal summer house-<br />cleaning of the manuscripts on our amcious bench* and In the file, and<br />among them I find the three papers which you have shown me as samples<br />of your work. I am sincerely sorry that no one of them seems to us<br />well adapted** for our purpose. Both the account of the bombing of<br />Dresden and your article, "What's a Fair Price for Gold Eggs?" have<br />drawn commendation*** although neither one is quite compelling enough for<br />final acceptance.<br /><br /> Our staff continues**** fully manned as I cannot hold<br />out the hope of an editorial assignment, but I shall be glad to know<br />that you have found a promising opening elsewhere.<br /><br /> Faithfully yours,<br /><br /> <br /> Edward Weeks<br /><br /><br />Mr. Kurt Vonnegut<br />Box 37<br /><br /><br /><br />* I truly belive that "amcious" is what has been typed, and that this is a typo of "anxious",<br />as "M" is beside "N" on the keyboard, and "C" is beside "X". It indeed appears as these keys<br />were shifted.<br /><br /><br />anxious seat <br />noun<br />1. Also called anxious bench . <br /> Chiefly North Atlantic States and Southern and South Midland U.S. <br /> a seat reserved at a revival meeting for those troubled by conscience <br /> and eager for spiritual assistance.<br /><br />2.<br />a state of anxiety, especially about the outcome of a vote, negotiation, etc.<br /><br />This definition could easily be used to desribe a place where articles were placed in the<br />office when they awaited attention/ a vote on if or when to print the articles.<br /><br /><br />** I belive you had used the word 'suited', but what was typed here was 'adapted'.<br /><br />*** while sharpening another part of the image, I could read here the word 'commendation'.<br /><br />**** I believe you had used the word 'remains', but what was typed here was 'continues'.Daniel C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-1758232254919349332011-11-24T01:19:26.216-05:002011-11-24T01:19:26.216-05:001. park
