Dear Don,
Since it’s clear from your letters that you’re a person nice, and since it’s well-known that an overkeen sense of obligation tends to afflict the congenitally nice, I again want to implore you not to feel any obligation to read the BM any…

This made me laugh a lot. I suspect he was being a bit cheeky towards Delillo (a writer not much known for ‘fun’) as well as aiming to flatter here. Also I was more surprised to see him use the phrase ‘a good wank’ than I was ‘a person nice’.

Do they have the response there somewhere? I poked around a bit in the archive but couldn’t find the letter.
