Letter from Walter de la Mare, Penn, Buckinghamshire, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1944 June 26 : typescript signed with autograph manuscript postscript.

saying he was "delighted" at comments about Love; saying that "Morrow's edition has been long delayed, owing chiefly to correspondence over copyright material"; talking about new book profit margins in America "that apart from agent's commission the income tax there is 30%, followed by another 50% in England"; wishing he could remember a lecture he gave at University of Chicago while Wagenknecht was there; discussing "Miss Pindyck" saying "only an angel would have failed to have been impatient with me at times"; delighting in having introduced her to him; thinking about a new collection of verse; saying that Faber put out a collection "The Best Short Stories of WD"; asking if he might like a copy; saying it is "quite impossible to believe that the war must come to an end and within a few months. You have probably seen that Churchill gives it four."; hoping it is not wishful thinking that he "will come to England as soon as that's practicable."
