Letter from [Laura Jackson] to The Editor of The Washington and Lee University Review, Spring 1967
Scope and Contents
"I write to you regarding references to myself made in Professor Daniel Hoffman's article 'The Early Poetry of Robert Graves' presented in your spring 1966 issue - this being an excerpt from a book not yet, then, published."
....
"Nor did Professor Hoffman consult me. And there have been others who felt themselves well enough provided with authority for what they said of me to have no need of mine. But Professor Hoffman's manner of treating me, partaking of the correctness-preoccupied quality of the article, moved me: here was a solumn purpose to create history, and, incidentally, to make a little doll-version of me to put in the background area of this historical showcase."
