Dear Editor,
I am under contract with St. Martin's Press to write the first in-depth account of the Stonewall riots. Michael Denneny is my editor at Saint Martin's. I will be very appreciative if you can print the call for informants at the end of this letter. My last book, Allen Ginsberg's Selected Interviews (the title has not yet been finalized), which I was hired by Ginsberg to edit, has just been acquired by Harper Collins. Sincerely,
--David CarterAuthor's Query
For the first in-depth history of the Stonewall riots, to be published by St. Martin's Press, I am seeking all participants, witnesses, police officers, Stonewall Inn employees, journalists, and other interested and involved people who were present at any of the riots at the end of June and beginning of July 1969. I am looking for any photographs or film footage, whether taken by a professional or amateur, of any of the riots or of other connected activities (such as leafleting or street demonstrations) taken any day or night of the Stonewall uprising. I also have a strong interest in collecting copies of earlier interviews in any medium of participants and witnesses, especially of persons no longer living. Any letters, diary entries, fliers, clippings, or other documentary material on or generated by the Stonewall riots are also of great interest. Please write to David Carter, P.O. Box 417, New York, NY 10113 or send email to History69@aol.com.
Rip & Marsha,
Just a short note to let you know about a pleasant encounter I had with one of your staff recently. I've always thought your publication was miles ahead of that other sad rag.I called to compliment George Patterson on his getting that good crossword puzzle started. In the process I told him how much I had enjoyed his two articles in the current issue. He may have been busy but he never let me know it. He was very cordial and pleasant to talk to. I'm sure you're aware of the value of the personal touch like that. If you get an unpleasant reaction it may be just enough to sour you on the whole organization that is represented. It shouldn't, but it does.
I know that you already must feel that George Patterson is a credit to your publication. I just hope to reinforce that. Keep up the great work!
