Bidding Peter Farewell

Allen in Tangier, late July 1961. Allen's note on back reads "July 29, seeing Peter off to Athens."  Peter had gotten such cold reception from Burroughs during this visit, and his friendship with Corso had so deteriorated, that he had to leave and travel on his own.  At the time it was unclear where if at all he and Allen would rejoin. They eventually did in Israel, but not till November of that year and with some degree of uncertainty.

“Two blocks from his hotel in a taxi the fat Lama punched out his mugger.”
