E.Weinstein replies,

      Greetings!

     Branson's love of Pynchon stems from the potential of flying several dozen 
members of Pynchon conferences transatlantic every six months. His fetish for 
the Bunny and Rockets however, are best explained by a trained professional.
By the way, 'Evil  Spoon  Street in Cov has some fine pubs and I hope I haven't
slighted any of them, or the Koh-I-Nor. (Also sorry about the lateness of a
certain 
cheque's return to your department.)  

May much bliss be yours now, and now, and now,
         ERIC(2)
