Letter from Laura Jackson to Ellsworth Mason, 1973-03-30

"...it seemed to me quite possible that you were acquainted with the past existence of a prive periodical called 'Focus' of my editorship, that your use of 'Focus' for your Gravesian periodical issue might have originated in the coming to your attention of that title, in that setting."

...

"You address someone, in your account of the importance of your periodical in what you call 'the scholarly community', who regards in a state of literary stupefaction all who treat the subject of Robert Graves as one of substantial, scholarlily respectable, importance -- I consider the very existence of such a publication a human and literary absurdity, against a wholsome literary and critical reason of things."
