Why are people getting excited about this?  You could have read this story
at your local library any time in the last 37 years. Dig up the June 19,
1965 issue, page 32.  If I remember correctly, it's a long letter from
Seymour at some camp.

Maybe Salinger needs a dialysis machine, or something.  In which case I
suppose I'll buy the thing, in return for the pleasure I've derived from
his stuff over the years.  Still seems like this event is being rather
oddly represented.
