Summary
Saying "Tis an optimistic view of human nature & human intelligence; & as a disputant, I demur. But, as an editor, I should like to see it set forth; & I hope you'll set it forth in The N.R. Why not in our January issue? You will find O'Neill - & more than all - I told you he was. Not Burton; but - well! O'Neill! The author, that is, of the most amazing gallimaufry;" adding "I hope you may get the first four Tudors : Nutt describes them as 'Out-of-Print.' If there's any difficulty, let me know; & I may be able to smooth it over. I sh'd like you to have the set complete. It is a noble set, I think; & I am proud of it."
