Ken Mikolowski letter : Detroit, Mich., to Gary [Snyder?], 1970 Jan. 16.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/768349281

Handwritten on letterhead stationery of the Alternative Press, Detroit, Michigan responding to a suggestion that Mikolowski write Ecology Action for permission to print something that the Alternative Press had already printed. Mikolowski responds by apologizing for their oversight, "...it was our fault for the assumption....After they were printed...I got your letter suggesting I write to Ecology Action asking for permission." He writes further that he is also enclosing copies and broadsides [not in the collection] and notes that "We'll be doing a new poem by John Sinclair from prison later this month and I'll send you a copy when that happens."
