Managing Editor
THE SOUTHERN REVIEW
University Station
Baton Rouge, La.

Dear Mr. Palmer

I'm very glad to hear that the Spring issue
is coming out, and most pleased to be included in it. Here
are some facts about myself to draw from for the Notes on
Contributors:

Born, 1907, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Went to school
in New York; attended Columbia University.

The Red Kite, a book of poems, published 1939
by Farrar & Rinehart.

Guggenheim Fellowship, 1940.

Contributor of verse and criticism to The New
Republic, The Nation, Herald-Tribune Books, The Yale
Review, The Saturday Review of Literature, Poetry and
other magazines.

Until recently, Literary Editor on Decision.

I sincerely trust that _The Southern Review_ has been able
to find a permanent basis for continuing, football subsidies
to the contrary.
