Dolores said Song Book aught to be re-printed, this time in a more sure manner - that is do away with the delicate print. There is something to her wish.
To-day, after 3 yrs, I received $7.50 for 6 copies of my Song Book. Yes! my first payment. I think one could "justifiably" rant against the system that categorizes the artist as a producer of non-use values as well as the system that categorizes "him" as a producer of use-values - that is, gives this epoch, "both" can't - their lie of course which isn't necessary - help cozening "him".
