Dear Mr Palmer :

I am very glad to know that Barnaby Ginsburghe's sonnets
are going into the department of Textual Criticism. I haven't a copy of the
poems with me, and I suppose that there won't be time for me to see proof on
them. Will you please set in _italics_ the sections printed in red -- the Latin
discourse. And here I should warn you that the Postal Authorities may be dis-
pleased by an indecorous comment in the Latin, one of the suggested variants
on the line 'Oh no, she is as wanton as a duck'. I should prefer to keep it
in; and anyhow, the P. A. probably can't read Latin.

As for the biographical details that you ask for: D.F., born
in Boston, educated at Harvard, teacher of English at Choate until this
now Instructor in English at Phillips Academy, Andover. Contrib. to Criterion,
transition, Hound & Horn, Poetry, Atlantic Monthly, Nation, New Repub., &c. Au-
thor of two books of poetry, and, with Fitzgerald, of translations of the Al-
cestis of Euripides and the Antigonê of Sophocles (New York and London). Editor,
with Genevieve Taggard, of an anthology: Ten Introductions (N.Y.)

My address will be as above until 27 June; thereafter, Walling-
ford, Connecticut.
