Summary
Thanking Herbert for the letter concerning the possibility of simultaneously releasing an edition of Herbert's book of poetry in England; expressing that Herbert should "go ahead on it" and that he would "write Alan [Swallow] about it"; noting that he has written Alan to expect Herbert's manuscript; sharing that Alan Swallow Press typically retains Canadian rights and does not normally retain "English" rights; questioning whether or not "Poetry London" would consider acting as Herbert's English publisher; asking if Herbert would tell Ruthven Todd about his admiration of "Over the Mountain".
