Summary
Concerning his suggested revisions to Mroczkowski's typescript essay "A lusty plain abundant of vitaille," which is a critical review of the second edition of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, edited by F. N. Robinson (London: Oxford, 1957). Hoping that his comments are legible and helpful, and remarking on Mroczkowski's style ("too many abstract nouns for my taste") and argument ("we don't agree, I think, on many points").
