Dear Ms. Jong,

             Today I purchased a copy of Witches and read it cover to cover. I was 
especially impressed with some of your comments and observations concerning the 
social implications of witches in midieval and modern society. The poem "For All

             I would very much appreciate it if you would use the enclosed envelope 
to provide me with a bibliographic citation of the manuscript and/or its first 
known publication if it is no longer extant.
