Summary
Apologizing for not answering her letter of April 1939 and her "two later communications"; explaining that he is very busy working on the journal Poetry; reporting that he is "working hard on No. 5 which is a Poets in Uniform number"; returning her poems because they are not "suitable for Poetry"; urging her to keep writing: "I know you are young & need encouragement. Your work is good & I hope you will go on writing"; noting that "we have all to mature through years"; telling her to send a selection of her poems to The Favil Press.
