Summary
Thanking Herbert for enclosing a clipping "from the Library Journal about the Handbook" in a letter he sent to Deutsch [Deutsch published "Poetry Handbook" in 1957]; expressing confusion over the publication date printed by Library Journal, "15 April, 1957", which conflicts with the fact that the Poetry Handbook "did not get between covers until late in June"; sharing that she is "delighted with the comments it [The Poetry Handbook] has received from knowledgeable and perceptive persons like yourself"; highlighting a typo that was printed in the Poetry Handbook, which she would like Herbert to edit in his copy; updating Herbert on her plans following the completion of the Poetry Handbook; noting that she enclosed several poems for Herbert to look at, mentioning, "You are one of the friends whom I want to have a look at it."
