Summary:
First page is a photocopied photo of Johnson, with the letter to Lippard typed over his cheek, explaining that he has enclosed eight pages of his <em>Book about death</em>. <br>The enclosed pages consist of two photocopies: one of a typewritten letter from "Buddha University" to the New York Times describing the death of the New York Correspondence School, and one of a handwritten page dated April 5, 1973 which simply states "The New York Correspondence School died." <br>Despite Johnson's note that 8 pages have been enclosed, these three pages are all that exist in this collection.
