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

“I’m very sorry to be so slow in answering your letter of May 11. I’ve had to let everything except schoolwork and my book go, until the end of the heaviest school term I have ever known: this ended two days ago, with all of us marching around in academic mummery in 90-plus weather...”

“How good of you to send the Flecker (but you didn’t have to do anything for me!): I like him, have HASSAN and most of the poems...”

“I can’t wait another day without thanking you for that fascinating Flecker book, which so far I’ve read twice. This has been a crazy time, however, with the 2 hurricanes...”

“This is by way of being an informal Christmas greeting: my wife Beatrice and I hope you will have a fine Yuletide...”

“I’m in your debt for two fine letters, and can’t let Easter pass without at least sending greetings for the spring! Have been reading, with pleasure and enlightenment, your Towards Economic Freedom...”

“Thanks so much for your very good letter, which has just arrived. I am answering at once because you wanted to have Philip Smith’s address in time to send him a Christmas greeting...”

“I had a very nice letter from you some time ago, when I wrote to ask you whether the Southern Illinois University Press could use, in its projected reprint of The Trespasser, the section of Neutral Ground upon which it was earlier based...”

“I have waited until the lecture draft has come home before answering yours of the 15th Nov. Now it is here. I rather hope you have kept a copy of it...”

“You will think I have kept you a long time waiting for comments on your book. But it would have been small compliment to you, the subject, or the work, had I given only the divided attention possible during the last crowded two months...”

“I received from Heinemann last week the copy of Sex, Literature, and Censorship you asked the firm to send me. Thank you very much for it. I think the book is very well produced...” Incomplete letter.
