Moore, Harry T. (Harry Thornton), 1908-1981

“I’ve been meaning to write for some time to thank you for sending Herbert Read’s review of my book. I thought he spent too much time on my effort to 'place' Lawrence, which I had labelled as an exercise in intellectual playfulness...”

“Thank you very much for your letter, and the cutting, and the pamphlet. The letter I have not yet read, for I read economic theory with some difficulty...”

“I haven’t heard from you in a long while; I hope all goes well with you. Here little has changed, though we have moved our residence. My Lawrence book goes on relentlessly--I’ll be glad when it’s all over...”

“It was very good to hear from you again: and thank you very much for the stimulating and informative pamphlet, and for the clippings (cuttings)...”

“I’ve long intended to write you, but this has been the busiest school term I have ever known; keeping my big Lawrence book going, as I have managed to do, cost me a good deal of strength...”

“I am terribly sorry about the picture and I had no idea you hadn’t given it to me for my book, and I’m extremely sorry for any awkwardness it may have caused...”

“It was most remiss of me not to acknowledge receipt of your poems--I’m behind-time on my book, schoolwork has been intense, and I’ve nearly cracked under the pressure...”

“I can’t let June go out without a letter to you. I’ve been recuperating from a grueling school year followed by the great effort of getting my son started in college...”

“This hasty and brief scribble is a poor substitute for my long overdue letter. I sent the Ms months ago--at the time I wrote you--to Gotham Book Mart...”

“I do feel guilty: it’s been so long, again! But I’ve been made head of the history and lit. dept., and have had to make myself into a professional historian very rapidly...”
