"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..."

"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."

"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."

"Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry to take so long to answer but have been caught up in numerous projects. I don't know if Mrs. Jackson mentioned that I smashed up my car after seeing you for lunch that day in NYC. Ran into a deer about twelve miles from home."

"I did, however, manage it this week and now, at last, have some information for you. I'm listing this below. Saturday Review of Literature. I'm enclosing xeroxes of Louis Untermeyer's London Letter for May 12, 1928. There was no London Letter in the issue of May 26, 1928, and I could find no mention of it in SR Letters section..."

"I'm enclosing a xerox of the two LRG poems in Contemporary Verse, XVII, 6 (June 1924), pages 91 and 92. I have now been through all the holdings of Voices in the NYPL and have not come up with any further contributions."

Includes transcription of the poem "Divestment" by Laura Riding Gottschalk, published in Motion Picture Classic, March 1923 issue.

"Thanks for your of Jan. 26, and the useful/appreciated [writings]. I'm making some source-listings for L.J. to check on/enlarge;..."

"Your sendings of 15 March just arrived - many thanks for such full-filment of my requests. (Some over-fulfilment, indeed, which I regret for you - bu thanks for that equally)."
