some advice on letter-writing (flux administration)

tuesday the 19th of march 1872 and the reverend kilvert is off visiting;  

'I called on my old friend richard meredith of colva, the land measurer, who lives in bridge street., just above hay bridge. I used to go there and talk to him very often but I have not been now for a long time. he seemed very glad to see me, for he was much exercised in his mind by the errors and heresy of the nicolaitans... 

I am ashamed to say I know as little as he did and care to know less...'  

from there on the conversation moves on to the masons (about a page's worth of description) and then onto the praying habits of two jews from poland whom meredith had met in an inn in neath. 

horsemouth has been much concerned with letter writing 

(or rather the fact that he is not doing it). 

lewis carroll offers some advice on letter-writing (how to begin a letter, how to go on with a letter etc.), and in particular how to keep a letter-register of your correspondence (something horsemouth has not yet succeeded in doing because he has not yet succeeded in writing any). 

(horsemouth has checked his dover edition of the unknown lewis carroll but does not find the essay there. he does find reproductions of lots of carroll's photos and some of his drawings.)

we might find a parallel in colby chamberlain's  fluxus administration: george maciunas and the art  of paperwork.

'maciunas tampered with the structures of bureaucratic modernity to establish new models of collectivity...' 

well it's a bright and beautiful morning and horsemouth has his coffee. his brother is up visiting. horsemouth has seen to the chickens. in a bit, when he is sure everyone is up, he will go and get the bin from the bottom of the drive. 

today a meeting.
