Notes and topics

Medlock mentions that she is worried about the enclosed overview of a soon-to-be published book by Charles Kasiel Bliss. The overview contains a quote from BR: "Supporting Bliss' books is, in my opinion, performing an important service to mankind."

Medlock calls Bliss a "mad man" and mentions that he is using quotes from BR "to build himself up". She asks BR, "Can you stop him—withdraw your name in this context?"

Medlock provides BR with some background concerning her dealings with Bliss, and comments on Schoenman's proposed African visit. [Bliss is the inventor of semantography (Blissymbolics). See his correspondence with BR.]

Enclosed is a two-page overview of Bliss' book One Writing for One World, document .178684.
