The Mel Bochner whom I have begun to know and to appreciate is too damned independent a person to be intimidated by anyone of any circumstance or to be checked by limited, momentary concerns in art. Not to publish his thought for Max's stated concerns is foolishness. By now, it ought to be clear to you that I esteem your editorial integrity above anyone else's. You and Mel ought to adjust the situation. Also, I know that you would enjoy the guy - he is a Grade "A" Pisser. Tomorrow, I depart for the University of North Carolina to teach 3-D design for a semester. I hope that the fellows and girls and I survive the experience. Please kiss the girls for me. (Susan and Tanya are the most lovely staff that I have ever seen.)

Best regards, as always, from Sonja and me.
