Dear Marian:
Pursuant to our conversation, this will confirm that the
Corpus Christi Literary Reading Series, Inc. , has resolved its
schedule for the next three readings: Robert Stone, Spring 1994 ;
Rudolfo Anaya, Fall 1994 ; and Sandra Cisneros, Spring 1995.
Accordingly, as we reported at our presentation to the
Commission, our request number 1 is amended by substituting
Rudolfo Anaya for Sandra Cisneros, changing the projected date of
the reading from Spring of 1994 to the Fall of 1994 , and reducing
the amount requested from the MAC from $4 , 000 to $2 , 000 (Del Mar
has agreed to pick up half of our costs) . Our request number 2 ,
for Robert Stone' s honorarium, is amended by changing the date of
the reading from the Spring of 1994 to the Fall of 1994 .
We will be in contact late in August with an amended
detailed budget for the Anaya reading, and possibly more
definitive information on the actual dates of the 1994 readings.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerel u s,
Jon. a o nblower
