Summary
Assuring Wagenknecht that his review in the Chicago Tribune, which lists Wagenknecht's book on Longfellow as the year's best book, was not written out of loyalty, but rather because it is a genuinely good title; describing how the book "made Longfellow live for me as a multi-dimensional person as no other study has ever done"; mentioning that he does have the new de la Mare collection, but hasn't read it yet; predicting they may be able to move forward on Arkham House's de la Mare collection relatively soon, as he has been working on paying off the publishing house's debts; closing with best wishes for the coming year.
