I'm probably about as scared for you as you are for yourself (I don't imagine I have the real gut-ripping fear that you can feel, but I do fear for you)," Benchley insists on seeing Steinbeck in either California or New York just as soon as he gets back in the U. S., Benchley indicates that despite his "fat, tyrranical, little boss" that he would rather be there than in Saigon, he plans to visit Barcelona, Rome and Paris in the fall if his money will permit, after which he would attend the University of Nantes, he also writes how his name, Nathaniel, isn't French enough for the town where he works, "I am now called Robert (you know, Row-Bear in French) by everyone, and if anyone asked for Nathaniel Benchley, no one would know what he meant," he goes on to say the locals think of him as "some kind of athletic god because I am bigger than most people in town and because I like to play rugby," Benchley ends, "And now, Catbird, if you've made it this far without skipping too many passages, you're a much better man than I. I started out just to report a few things from this end of the world and wound up gabbing all afternoon. Teddibly sorry. So, old man, take great care of yourself and win a pulitzer prize just for kix," he adds in a P.S.S., "I hope you know how much your visit to New York in May cheered your father and Elaine. They are still elated over it, and your father is a new man. So there. N," Steinbeck IV went on to write In Touch, Benchley had his own writing career and is the father of Peter Benchley of Jaws fame.
