Summary
Declining an invitation and discussing "yr Arcady book", stating that he finds the title to be "too long & too formal", and adding "What I want is a book with say twelve short stories of life as you see it over there, tragic or comic, which you like, either or both. The main thing is the style."; informing him that he has asked (his publisher) Lane to send Langbridge a copy of Fletcher's "Life in Arcadia", "so that you may see the get-up of the series."; concluding "Send me yr poems & I'll send you mine, which will be out in a week or two."
