Summary
Discussing profitability of the collection with Knopf and restriction on words "to avoid printing expense"; having daughter Florence send the Macmillan contract for "The Wind Blows Over" and saying the collection is out of print and not remaindered; revising "A Mote" because August Derleth likes it best; hoping Wagenknecht will "consent to being named editor of the A.K. volume"; working on a new collection of poems; asking if his sentence makes sense because "I have become more than usually grammar-shy" and telling an anecdote about missionaries teaching English; thanking him for the "ghostly stories" by "H.J."
