Scope and Contents

The writings on the dried onion leaves consist of brief phrases, such as 'dildos & other games.' The broadside documents the correspondence between Ray Johnson and Coco Gordon on onion skins beginning in 1981. It appears that the handwriting on the onion skins was done by Ray Johnson. The documentation as to the edition size and number of this copy appears to have been lost. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
