Summary
Saying that he can't find a flaw in Wilbur's poem and that he knows it by heart now; asking why he wastes his time teaching, especially in foreign countries, instead of writing more; sending his regrets that he will not be able to make it to Puerto Rico; adding that he didn't want to pay the extra fare for Helen, since she is so fat and how her fatness prevents her from cooking for him; saying that he hopes to make it down there after the birth of his son.
