Summary
Saying he is enclosing the rest of his comments on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, most of which are small, but one is long and concerns potential plagiarism; saying he thinks "A Lady of Courage" is a hoax; saying they are having an after the show party for Blanche Yurka tonight; in a postscript, mentioning that the University of Iowa wants his personal papers, which gives him a funny feeling; saying he found what Wagenknecht had to say about Longfellow's [visions?] interesting; saying that Mark Twain and Herbert Asbury had them, but he himself hasn't, and there is no proof Edgar Allan Poe did.
