have sent out:

1. "into the wood" to yen.
2. "the insufficient answer" and "ringing the changes" to julian.
(that gives the people at home four stories to trade between them, since julian and poach have already received "my poor friend" two weeks ago.)
3. von who is here this week can collect his own copy of "into the wood"

everyone else who hasn't written to me i will assume that you don't want aickman stories. i will therefore maintain (in my spare time) an insulted silence, having had my taste discounted.
