EPISTLE TO DIPPY

57. EPISTLE TO DIPPY:

[Dear Tony: Went to the Princeton Museum yesterday and library and bookstore and a few other spots it was nice and they had carolers from Princton HS Glee Club all over the place and horse-drawn buggy rides and all that crap - plus there was a concert of medieval music going on with a Petrarch-lecture of some sort for free all in the main room of the Princeton Art Museum though I didn't stay for long there and then I went to that little old house with the Museum show there currently entitled 'Princeton during the Civil War' it was pretty cool and some old guy about 75 or 80 started talking to me a blue streak about the 'southern' history of Princeton as a south-outpost in the north during those days - he'd lived in New Orleans and Baton Rouge since his graduation from Princeton in like 1950 or 51 or something - he started telling me all kids of cool stuff relating to the pictures and photos on the walls and the only hang-up he had was in not being able to remember the name of 'that fellow who had trouble integrating Ole' Miss' - James Meredith I supplied - and he was pleased and other than that he was sharp as a tack and I was reluctant to leave him there but I did just saying 'thanks- it has been a pleasure to talk to you' blah blah and cool I'll send two very simple pictures I took of pictures which is a new and interesting concept I suppose - pictures of pictures of pictures of pictures and it just goes on like that forever and INFINITY is a mirror you know!]
