Summary
Hoping Rodríguez Feo is "happily returned to Cuba by this time" and will "get in touch with [Brinnin] when [he] come[s] to New York again"; asking if he was "able to wrangle a poem from Marianne Moore"; telling him he has spoken to Howard Moss about Orígenes and asked Moss to forward some of his work to Rodríguez Feo; mentioning that he is interested in traveling to Havana at Christmas and asking for advice about "the possible restrictions on war-time travel that way ... and ... the war-time conditions of Cuba in regard to accommodations"; inquiring about the Spanish translation of "A River" (one of Brinnin's poems); noting that his book [No Arch, No Triumph] "will come out on February 19, considerably earlier than [he] expected."
