Dear Kees-=

I regret it has been so long since I have seen you.

This writing is a simple request. Do you recall
having written a sardonic piece quite some yours
ago about confusing the title of a publication in
the Czech language with its author? It was something
like U Plavici, but my memory is not good enough to
retrieve a sufficient approximation to track it down.

The matter is of no great importance; I am just
trying to add to the repertoire of examples that
Merton has -in his delightful book, "On the Shoulders

’ of Giants". (Attached is another example.)

If you can recall the example, or assure me that I
am hallucinating about it, I would appreciate your
jotting down the reference.

Best. wishes,
Sincerely,

yy’

Joshua
