"Many thanks for your letter of 27th July, and for the sheets of information on reviews of Mrs. Jackson's books. It will be a while before I can check these sheets in detail, but I can see at a glance that you have uncovered much trove new to us."

"The copy of A Trojan Ending arrived last week, in perfect condition; thank you again. I have today made my reservations for my flights next month, so can at last be more definite about dates. I'll be flying London-Miami on 11 October, and flying north from Miami not earlier than 19 October;..."

"I expect you'll have received my letter of the 13th, giving some details of my travel dates (leaving N.Y. on the evening of Friday 27 Oct.; could be in N.Y. by as early as the evening of Thursday 19 Oct.; should be there at latest by evening of Sunday 22). Since I shall be a fairly free agent for those few days, while you will have an existing pattern of commitments..."

"Here (enclosed) is a copy of my listing of the twenty-seven Riding poems of the 1920's, discovered during my trip. It is designed as a supplement to the check-list. // At the New York P.L., I obtained xerox of the casing of their copy of A Trojan Ending -- examination of which confirmed that there are at least two states."

"I'll be delighted to help you in any way that I can with this project. The big problem, of course, is time. A University Library has recently involved me in a new project that has caused a great deal of disruption in my schedule, a project I fear, with long-term implications. I'm presently working on two bibliographies, Malcolm Lowry and the publications of Harold Monro's Poetry Bookshop."

"In regard to the want-list I must ask whether you want a copy of each item for your own collection or if you are more interested in examining a copy for the proposed bibliography. I've had many of the items on the want-list in the past and they tend to be quite expensive."

"I'm enclosing information culled from Marion Sader's Comprehensive Index to English-Language Little Magazines 1890-1970; The Book Review Index (this was only started in 1965); and the Book Review Digest, 1905 to June 1978 (note that the volume for March 1936 to February 1937 is missing at the NYPL)."

"I'm enclosing the manuscript of Mrs. Jackson's comments on the VW letters which she kindly permitted me to read before sending on to you. It wasn't very bright of me to miss 'Poems: A Joking Word.' I've never had the book so that will be my excuse."

"A short note in the hope that it will reach you before you leave for America. I have just seen a catalogue description of the first American edition of The Trojan Ending describing it as in the first issue binding, grey cloth printed in black and white..."

"I haven't written before because my own schedule has been rather up in the air. I have to be in Princeton, N.J. on the 23rd and 24th October which means that the days before and after that trip will be shot as well."
