Dear Dr. Williams:

I am terribly sorry that I haven't written you. We ran into a great many technical and mechanical difficulties on the press, and I wanted to have the work settled into a channel again so that there would be something definite to tell you when I wrote. The actual printing has dragged on much longer than expected, but the publication date has now been definitely set for August 5th.

I am looking forward to seeing you once the first issue is off. There is lots to tell and talk about:

Unpublished Letters of Margaret Fuller a series, some really good new writers, our next issue which will be a better one, and to meet the guy who is working with me a truly fine writer, etc etc.

Dear Dr. Williams:

As if there were not enough little mags? As if a good reason
could be found to justify why one wants to edit another? As if
your young and older friends who have done same editing did not
warn and shout you down? Yess that's it. Yes of course. Very
true. All of it.

But somehow when one truly feels something should and can be
done with a magazine; a magazine which shows you are not plain
crazy and that through _doing_ a constructive venture you _can_ develop
and learn from each and everyone; then I believe it will go and
grow and be worthwhile for reader and writer. So we are a press, a staff,
an idea, and very soon a monthly with as many unpublished and
published honest writers as will be kind enough to help our cause.

Your work we feel would fit beautifully. We've liked it then and
now. If you are interested in contributing we will more than
appreciate it. Miss Frances Stellof will vouch for me. Hoping
to hear from you soon.
