Summary
Saying "I was very glad to get your volume of Poems with its inscription to your old friend - I read it with [illegible] admiration for my old favorites, and with an affection for the author which needed no renewal. You have certainly set your mark as a poet on the literature of the time & the strength of your personality so stamps even those of your poems which I like less that I take delight in them because they are so distinctly yours. Some of your latest are especially lovely, but after reading the Epilogue I am in no mood for criticism."
