To Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Mexico

Nov. 13, 1956

Dear Ferl,

Thanks for forwarding mail. Mexico is poor, sick, and nowhere. I don’t like poverty,

painted whores, tacos, tortillas, frijoles, Pepsi-Cola-Everywhere is PEPSI COLA !

Mademoiselle asked me for my book. I haven’t any, please mail one to them for me.

Just put it in envelope with no message. I have already written him or her letter.

Do this as soon as possible, thank you. We made hit in L.A. I guess some people are

ordering book from there. We gave your address. Allen sends love. I will have

manuscripts ready by middle of December.

Love, Gregory
