Summary
Informing Herbert that there is no file for "Fontaine" in the Library of Congress, nor at the New York Public Library; instructing Herbert to hold a material that he recently acquired for her; updating Herbert on her upcoming travel plans; sharing with Herbert that "Auden [W.H. Auden] gave a "poetry reading" last night"; recounting the details of the poetry reading, saying: "He reads a little too fast and has enunciation difficulty; but he was wonderful in a long poem of Tennyson"; telling Herbert that she saved a list of the poems that Auden performed at the reading.
