Dear Marshall,

The college department has given your anthology a thorough examination and they are unanimously agreed that it is a very fine job but that, alas, there is simply no market for it. I read the introduction and a good many samples of your notes and questions and I think it is a very fine and original piece of work, the principles of which I thoroughly approve of. Why not try the Oxford Press?

I hope that these two rejections will not keep you from sending me your next manuscript. We are going to get together on something soon.
