26 pages of pencil and ink notes, compiled during 1943-46 while Miller was living at Beverly Glen (Los Angeles), and then in Big Sur, California. 9x12, red wrappers

Notes include lists of things to buy for his house, art supplies to purchase, & agendas of things to do ("Personal Exercises:...Hour's walk before breakfast (no thinking!)...Drink fine wines every day! Type one hour per day - drudge work," "Reprint the Etoilique with Preface. Send out carload lots to editors & publishers everywhere!" "**Ask Argus if he will mail announcements for new books! (ditto Gotham Book Mart!)," & "Get Leite to do only letters relating to `Tropic of Cancer,' dedicate to all the censors of this world and the next - including Soviet Russia & Young China."). Miller also includes lists of proposed "Titles to Use", "Titles of Paintings" (quite lengthy, with prices realized and to whom they were given), "Dollar a Week Patrons - Prospective!" (topping the list are James Agee, Ben Hecht, Judy Garland, Gotham Book Mart & Bern Porter), "Art galleries to circularize," "Debts to pay off" (only several names crossed off!), and much more. A great notebook containing the author's daily thoughts and chores during the early 1940's. Very good condition.
