The facsimiles are a letter, dated Apr. 12, 1966, from John Steinbeck to Katharine Carruth Grover offering a replacement poem for printing by the Grace Hoper Press in the stead of some verses from his Stanford student days which he would not permit the press to print, and the poem itself, entitled "Latoniquem," which purports to be a translation by Steinbeck from the Ukrainian into a language of his own invention. It is this poem that is the subject of Hart's essay.
