Summary
Concerning Auden's second book, The Orators, published that year; saying "The modification of the few passages which I discussed with you the other day have been agreed upon. As for the preface I felt myself from the beginning that it was not really desirable and I find my own opinion confirmed by the two other directors who feel as I do that there is no need to apologize for obscurity. I hope to send you a copy of page proof before long."
