http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34931036

Nine letters from George Oppen to James Weil between the years 1964 and 1972. Eight of the letters are typed, whereas one is a holograph note written on a photocopy of a letter from George to the poet Ted Enslin. One letter also contains a translation of a poem by the French poet Yves Bonnefoy. All of the letters are undated but internal evidence allows for them to be placed fairly easily in a chronological sequence.
