Summary
Expressing interest in Cahoon's novel but stating that they need "as many as a hundred pages" to consider making an offer for it; returning his poems because he "does not feel that a successful book (I mean from the literary point of view) could be got together, half poetic drama and half lyrics"; adding that Cahoon's talent needs time to develop, and that he would like to see his poems develop over a year or two.
