Summary
Thanking Wagenknecht for his letter and the extract of "Values in Literature"; referencing a project, "the Study you planned proved impracticable"; finding it "amusing that Henry Holt's should have, quite innocently, delivered its coup de grace"; looking forward to seeing draft pages of the new book and offering to make comments; fearing that "any comments I can make, however, will not be of particular value"; postscript saying that he will have to write his agent to corroborate vague memories of "the artists on Reading" and will let him know.
