Blake apologizes for not writing, explaining that he and Martha have been having problems "rather along your lines". Blake confides that he has met someone else, but that she is married. He and Martha are still living together, but he isn't certain for how much longer. He asks Peter to write to him at MOMA and appreciates the letters the Peter has written it makes it "much easier to understand what Martha is up against".
