Dear Mr. Warren,

Many thanks for your letter of
April 29th. Before undertaking the article I
wanted to be sure to see E.Pound's
*Spirit of Romance*, which contains an essay on
Dante to which Eliot writes to me "he owed a
good deal". Now I have got that book, and I
hope to be able to write the article in the
first half of July, unless I am appointed to
a board of examiners for posts in the secondary
schools, a possibility which would oblige me
to put off the essay until the autumn. But
let us hope that I may be free. If I post the
article by July 20th, it ought to reach you
early in August.

Eliot's

I am afraid a check list of^actual adaptations
and borrowings from Dante will have to be
dropped; but I'll do my best to write the
essay along the lines you suggest.

Dear Professor Warren,

I hope the enclosed essay on Eliot and
Dante corresponds to what you expect both far
in contents and length. I am afraid there is a
considerable number of notes, but in an essay of
this kind they are inevitable. I have not made
the check list of adaptations since practically
all of them are given in the body of the text;
besides, the Dantesque inspiration of Ash-Wednes
day could not be reduced to an item in a check
list.

I suppose this will reach you in time
for the autumn number of the Southern Review.
If possible, I would be glad to see proofs;
otherwise I am sure you will see that they are
entrusted to a competent reader.
