Dear Warren,

Congratulations on the fine notices accorded your book and the *Review* in the April issue of *Poetry*. I thought the Winter Issue the best to date, and especially enjoyed your review-article, with its remarks on regionalism.

With best wishes,

Dear Warren,

I'll be glad to review Edward's new book if I receive it in time
to meet the November 15th deadline I take it that you sent the book to Norman,
and I shall write to make sure that it is forwarded to me. Otherwise, send the
book to my Washington address. I am working at the Library of Congress, on
a Rosenwald fellowship and sabbatical leave.Maybe I can do some other books
for you, on the new basis. I am accepting a post as book review editor for
Prairie S chooner.

I don't suppose the poems I sent you were exactly what you want.

Shoot them back, won't you.

With best wishes,

Dear Warren:

The book arrived. At first I had thought it was a second novel
of Edward's you had for me, but I am glad enough to do Madness in the Heart.

My project is the folk andregional movement in the South.
Certainly I hope to turn up something for you soon. I wonder if you could
use an article on George Milburn, which I have had under way for some time.
I had beensaving it for the appearance of his new novel, but I haven't heard
anything of it yet. Have you?

While digging around in the periodicals, I might do a piece for
you on Southern magazines, starting from scratch.

If you haven't assigned American Stuff for review and have some
of the guidebooks around, I'd like to do something on the Writers' Project.

With best wishes,
