Summary
Noting that "Mrs Stephan" [Ruth Stephan, editor of The Tiger's Eye literary magazine] wrote him about "the Blackmur" [literary critic R.P. Blackmur]; sharing that he doesn't "care much for RPB" and instead of writing a negative review on the work, would "send it back"; sharing updates on his life and commenting on mutual acquaintances, including Weldon Kees, noting: "I do wish Weldon would get out of that kind of work--I don't think it does him any good"; expressing support for Herbert's work, writing, "I hope Swallow does take your book--you're a very good writer, sir."
