Box 1

"I thought not to trouble you with mere thanks for your letter of June 13th. But after the passing of a month I think I should say thank you for the work..."

"I am writing to you out of thought of a possibility that suddenly came to me, the thought that the Lockwood Library of the University of Buffalo might be a place that you have approached as to the manuscripts or might consider approaching."

"The library that I offered the typescripts to is definitely interested but, like most libraries this year, is short of funds."

"No, I didn't offer the manuscripts to Buffalo and certainly won't now."

"I have just, as it happens, remembered that I once asked you - a while back - whether you were one to suggest to a person who is collectiong my work..."

"This is just to say thank-you for your considerate word of July 30th."

"I'm sorry that I overlooked answering your query before; please do give my name to the person who is collecting your books."

"The person to whom I referenced is Professor S- M. Harper, of FLorida State University, Tallahassee, Fla." ... "He became acquainted over some letters of mine to Yeats..."

"I suddenly thought that it might be to sensible point for me to tell you that I am considering acting as an Authors Guild Bulletin faculty for offering a book of mine..."

"I'm not really surprised at Harper's Row remaindering The Telling. This seems to be the general practice now."
