ALS, 3 pages, Nov. 15, 1973 to poet and editor William Claire of "Voyages", written on American Airlines paper.
Claire met Anais Nin at the memorial service for publisher Alan Swallow in the basement of St. Mark's Church in New York City in 1966. A year later, after Claire, living in Washington, DC, had started his literary magazine, Voyages, Nin "spent much time and effort ... acting like an upwardly eager associate editor... gushing with ideas and possibilities for future issues ... she became deeply involved with every issue, including an early issue featuring women writers, in 1968. She sent me manuscripts from her friends on both the east and west coasts, and some from abroad. She was my most indefatigable advisory editor throughout the life of the publication, which ended in the early 1970s." Item #54970
Nin apologizes that there was no time to talk at the Washington cocktail party, wants him to send a copy of the new issue of Voyages to her LA address ... talks about the Alan Swallow book ... asks for help with a documentary film that is being made about her ... wonders if his university would be intersted in a copy. The third leaf give Nin's opermission to use her recollections about Alan Swallow in the forthcoming book. Signed "love | Anais"
