Summary
Apologizing for long delay; saying his book arrived safely and he has been enjoying it though he is "getting to be a lamentably desultory reader"; appreciating the dedication of the book; saying "these last months have been very sad + difficult ones for me" explaining his wife's illness and care; stating she died in July; describing idleness "though I tinker off and on at verses new and old"; describing September weather and "magical moons"; saying that his "tome on Love is out at last!" and asking for "your frankest opinion"; anticipating reviews anxiously; wondering if "this woeful war" will be over by next spring.
