   I'll tell you that this was never one of my favorites. One day last
summer I decided to give old DeDaumier Smith another reading, and I had a
really good time with it, for the first time really. I immediately came home
and wrote my best Salinger friend that I had a big breakthrough with the
story. He said it was never one of his favorites either, but that he would
give it another shot. His next shot didn't do it for him either.

   Maybe if you read it every once in a while, it will hit you over the head
like a ton of bricks someday. Then again it may be one of those things that
you remain firmly on the fence about forever. It certainly took me by
surprise when i enjoyed it so thoroughly the last time.

              Best Wishes,
