further to this, i found a/the letter dated March 28, 1973 from William Burroughs inviting me to 8 Duke St to “discuss these matters.” And a postcard dated April 9 1973 to sort out when I could be calling. It was this meeting which is the subject of Jed’s article above.
My scatter-brain seems to have over-looked this letter and card: I even did not include it in my wordpress site, it seems , and i wish i had had with me when i met with WB, it does explain at bit more
The full 2 page letter and card is now on the wordpress site and Jed can reproduce it better that me if he wants to.

Dear all,
Thanks for giving the background to these two remarkable books: WSB was a fine pirate himself with his “Gets” (quotations good enough to steal), so pirate publications are a kind of recognition.
Thank you,
David F. Allen

I have just written a Review of ‘Rub Out The Words’, and was repeatedly struck by just HOW significant Hubbard & Scientology were in the period of WSB’s life covered (Collected Letters 1959-1974), in ways both ‘good’ and ‘bad’…
David S Wills of Beatdom has an excellent piece on Burroughs & Scientology here:

He is also working on a full-length book on the subject, which promises to be fascinating reading!

A very interesting story. I can certainly relate to his feelings on the collected Scientology articles. They make up a very interesting side of Burroughs 1960’s work.
