11"x8 1/2". 3 pages. "This issue of The Monthly started out as a letter to
Anna Banana in response to her latest issue of the "Banana Rag." however, the
letter grew since I realized that not only had I not written to Anna for a long while,
but I had neglected many of you. In fact, I have not corresponded with anyone
for such a long time. Hopefully this will bring about a thaw. I have been busy with
allot of family, teaching, and personal commitments." Sections include, "Why
