Letter from Stan Brakhage to Sally Dixon
(12/26/1971)
Dear Sally,
Just a brief note, with the important news: Rare and I will be
arriving in Pittsburgh at 1:12 p.m. on TWA flight 276 out of Chicago on January 11th. But do let me know if it looks like I won’t be able to show the film, for any reason, to Wecht and others at Coroner's office within say several days of my arrival. I would have to cancel the trip, in that case; because I couldn't afford to make it twice at this time.
I'm rather soggy with flu and 'disgruntled generally today. Bah Humbug, I say (but with a quiet smile). It is always difficult like this for me when a film is finished, particularly when it is a long and longtime-taking one. This one has left me unusually groggy. I'm only good for sinking into detective fiction at the moment
