Dear Dr. Williams,

Happy New Year—and I'm sorry that I did not get
around to wishing you one before this.

Now down to business. For various reasons it is
necessary for me to get appraisals of the magazine
from some members of the advisory board. I wonder if
you could send me a paragraph on your opinion of such
things as the choice of articles and the general effect
the magazine may be expected to have on the study of modern
literature. If I could have it within the next ten days it
would be a great favor. This is not for publication but
for a very important purpose which right now must remain
undisclosed. I am enclosing a self-addressed stamped
envelope for your convenience. Thank you.
