bernard hemensley's STINGY ARTIST BLOG: FACSIMILE OF THE LAST LETTER i RECEIVED FROM TED ENSLIN (March 25, 1925 - November 21, 2011) THE YEAR BEFORE HE DIED. WE HAD A CORRESPONDENCE GOING BACK TO THE LATE SEVENTIES, WHICH LED TO MY PUBLISHING TWO LITTLE BOOKLETS OF HIS, UNDER MY "STINGY ARTIST" IMPRINT. MY LETTERS WERE ALWAYS ANSWERED PROMPTLY ON THE DAY THEY WERE RECEIVED I'LL BET. THE LETTERS ALWAYS TYPED WITH AN OLD FASHIONED TYPEWRITER AND INVARIABLY ON A SMALL PIECE OF PAPER, FOLDED IN THREE INTO AN A6 ENVELOPE. THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY NO TIME TO LOSE. i'M SURE THAT JUST LIKE SHUNRYU SUZUKI, HE WOULD'VE LAUGHED HEARTILY IF A STUDENT HAD ASKED WHAT ONE SHOULD DO WITH ONE'S SPARE TIME!!!.
