Summary
Thanking him for his letter and his "collected works to date"; commenting on the advertisements in Moore's books of poetry; noting one advertised book "by Lawrence Durrell called 'Halitosis of the Soul,'" and adding that Durrell told him in Cairo "that they were merely projected, never written, let alone published"; discussing an article in the Sunday Times by G[eorge] M[alcolm] Young; observing that "[Henry?] Treece's poem ... rather repelled [him]"; asking if Moore received the poems he sent to him.
