Summary
Requesting that Mellor change the second word in the last line of the second verse for "Lofty in Palais de D" to "deadly" instead of "murderous"; saying that the line should read "A deadly world : for once I like, it kills"; adding that he realized he gave Mellor an earlier copy than the Paris Review with the different word.
