Dear Mrs Bowen

I have held off writing to you up to page 291
of your J.Adams.

Mr Horton within days of seeing you Lion and Throne
set to preparing a new edtn/ Coke Institutes II ( the "agna Charta
chapter . )

The coincidence in citations between my verse on J.A
published in '39 and your in '49 indicate a certain agreement
in our criteria of values.

The damnable travesty of education, festering in our universities
ought to annoy you. In fact Horton's series is, so far as I
know the ONLY attempt to organize a curriculum
as distinct from the
general obfuscation

of servile and timid or simply idiotic hirelings
who teach Toqueville instead of Benton and avoid the 40
significant historic facts that wd/ start young men on a
education worth having.

There has been almost NO review of or notice of Horton's series.

There is little intercommunication between the illiterate
literary people, the hired and timid professors and the
tiny number of writers who have some idea what the score is.

I wonder if you have looked at McNair Wilson's " Mind of Napoleon "
illustrating the extent to which an acute historian was fooled
in 1934 ( up to which date the error WAS perfectly explicable )
and J.Iscariot might have kept his preminence.

Do you know of anyone in academic life capable of serious effort
to get some education into the University system. There was a yale man
on the air Sunday wanting the school system to listen to
college professors, some of whom complain of what gets into
the colleges

BUT even this hustler did not suggest doing anything about
his own department in his university.

and so on.

O.K. go back and look at p.291 in yr/ paper back Adams.

cordiali saluti

It is too much to say "gratitude"/ Every appointee of Roosevelt,
ever man struggled onto the Supreme Bench to "declare" anything
he, (Roosevelt ) does constitutional. EISENHOWER, Warren

Warren, Eisenhower, Milton Lake and the palace guard Loathe
the word Coke the instant they have any inkling of its
meaning.

And in this oleograph "Heritage", you have confers who
babble of international responsibilities as if they could be
anything but rot and corruption if they fail to guard
inherited and legal right inside our own country.

We are under something worse than King Charles, and the forced loans
are not even for the benefit of governmental authority but
as ser of irresponsible enemies.

Dear Mr. Pound,

Thank you for your letter.
I was much interested in what Mr. Horton
told me about your interest in Coke. I
shall look up his edition of the Institutes;
I don't even know if it is ready, or how
much it is ready. I don't seem to have
heard about it, yet nothing could be
of more concern to me; I have long wondered
why a new edition wasn't printed. I suppose
the fact is that nobody would read it,
and that's why! But I shall surely buy a
set for myself; I'll write to Louis Wright
at the Folger and he will tell me how and
when....

No, I know of no way to get "education"
into the universities except to hire
talented teachers, and the world holds
very few such. I think the system doesn't
matter much; a good man or woman can teach
under any system. We are always revising
systems when what we really need is people
of imagination and courage....

I forget where Charles's letter is printed, but I will look it up, Mr. Pound, and let you know soon. Once I finish those biographies, I huddle up all my notes and shove them out of sight because when they are around I cannot stop thinking about them.

I have never seen your "verse on J.A.
published in '39," but now I am home after
extended travels (brief in mileage but long
in time) I can have the pleasure of looking
it up.

Dear Mrs Bowen

I hope I haven't too gravely misled you re/ Coke reprint. "Dave" has no capital and can only afford to do the Magna Charta chapter from 2nd. Inst.

The full set in London goes for 3 guineas for vol II. and 2 guineas the other three vols. People get bogged in Littleton. Whereas the impact NEEDED, and how, at this moment is the Charter.

D.H

Working on offset from clearest available edtn/ he can only tidy up two pages of the plates per day. He hopes to finish by May.

I think he would be glad to dedicate the reprint to you if it would not be embarrassing. He is in opposition to various " powers", whereas your respectability is MOST formidable.

I haven't a spare Adams on the premises, pestered at moment with errata list for new printing. Antos 62/71

and earlier adumbration 31/34.

errata / June 4/ Tenacem, Pickering.

failing that I am sending on 88, with a few wreathes for Randolph and Benton.

And the Connecticut charter in case you can use a copy.

There is a good monograph on it, forget by whom, fairly recent.

I

Congratulations on the Philadelphia recognition. Can still recall

BOKS grampaws white whiskers, as observed from over the
banisters at early age observing the habits of the loacl fauna
assembled. And Geo. H.L. starting the S.E.Post from two doors
away, with a transparency of Franklin in the tiny parlour window.

George was " goin' places " all right.

You will thank me for mentioning Goullart's " Forgotten Kingdom" ( Murray, London) if you haven't seen it.

As far as I am able to learn you Adams is worth all the, i.e. more than all the american history being revealed at present in the beaneries.

It took me seven years to GET a set of C.F. Adams edtn/ of John
A. from Boston to Rapallo. But you beat me to the Coke, theo
J.A. cites him (with vigour).

Haven't you enough inherited prestige to get so INSTRUCTIVE books
into the Lehigh curricula. Even an attempt to return a D.Litt
has been uselessto get any into the history courses at Hamilton.

There is a little undergraduate life at St. Lawrence, but
I take it Sarah is not the Saint.

Harvard HAS heard of Coke, that being the ONLY good thing I know of that institution as of now.

Noting but a little collaboration will do the job

Dear Mr. Pound,

Thank you for your delightful letter
and for the copy of Cantos 85-95. I am very
complimented that you sent me this copy, and with your
kind salute. I am reading it, and rereading, with
excitement and pleasure; it makes me angry that I
do not know Latin more fluently, and no Greek at all
and no Italian except the smattering that French
gives me.... But I can read what Merlin's moder said
or did not say, remembering from fire to crystal, via the
body of light...what a superb page 75. Brooks
and Henry DID go back to their grandfather, drat 'em,
and not to old John. And now I shall look again at
De Tocqueville, who "may pass in Europe for American
history in a foreign tongue." I had to put aside
most of the historians, writing John Adams and Coke.
They are so sure, they put me off, and with their
sureness they are afraid to stick their necks out,
though actually I LIKE the professors, somehow; there
is a kind of supernal innocence, perhaps women have
more patience with that kind of thing than men have?

I don't know any new books on the Lees; I
have got out of touch with Adams's history lately,
I am back another century and a half, digging round
in all that wonderful 17th century English, sometimes
so involved and fancy as to be nonsense, sometimes
so plain it cuts right out from under and makes me
jump.

About Coke and misprision of treason. I wonder
if he really said he expected Raleigh to be convicted
only of Misprision. I cant believe it. I did not
enjoy writing those treason trials, Essex, Raleigh,
Gunpowder, though Essex I did not mind so much because
I did not like him. But with Raleigh and the G'powers
I was wading in blood and treachery, and my boy Coke
did not play a pretty part, did he.

I read the letter to The Star with much
interest. Thank you for sending it.

Dear Mrs Bowen

Some confusion in my correspondence due to circumstance
I forget whether I wrote you that H. Meacham ( box 1378, Richmond.
reported 3 or 4 profs. working on the Lees.

I hope the Raleigh idea is still keeping you from
sleep.

No idea whether you follow RIGIDLY the american habit of
never
communicating or collaborating with anyone. BUT there is
need of new and rigorous work on the Constitutional Convention.
I have never seen anything dealing with the absolute surrender of
all real power by the individual states. They confer it in
section 8, clause 5 of Art 1.

and surrender it ignominiously in the fine print. section 10
I have long since given up reading the Procedings of our so-called
Ac. Soc. Pol Sci. probably from childish impatience, never having
found in desultory perusal ANY desire of the contributors
to enlighten either themselves or each other.

No excuse for my own negligence. IF you have heard of any
useful work, essay or whatnot or have any idea where one can
find the story of the convention I wd/ be grateful to know of it.
Whether by malice of Hamilton's assassins, or as an illustration of
J.A. on IGGURUNCE. (vide Chap. 1. my Introd. Tx Bk) I don't know.

Said text has now been printed with minor errors in several wop papers
and CORRECTLY translated in, of all places,

Dear Merchant/ damn it, I ought to have made a carbon of this for
you / but having thought of it too late, can you return this for
my files / with comment, if any.

Canto 98/ alledgedly to appear bilingual in ILLUSTRAZIONE ItaL.

hope you haven't been out of action.

went to remain TOTALLY inactive for another 2 months. BUT...

If either you or Meacham hear of ANY curiosity indulged in by
components of hist. depts. I wd/ welcom the news. I spose
Tansil (if that is proper spelling) wd/ have some , but he is in
course of being ejected.

Light on why Rhode Island resisted . might be got for R.I.

local historians , IF there are or were any.

cordially yours

Dear Mrs. Bowen

Eyes tired, but am having pertient and/or marked bits
Adams correspondence read to me /
DO ferGarDZache continue yr/ Adams
into the dangerous period.

Probably more needed than a Raleigh,
than the va. "ees NEED publicity.

US 1787 / Constitutional Convention. Who slipped
the joker into section 10.

"ATHER DEPRESSING that note of the more noted u.s. egg-heads is capable ( and/or willin', but in the main it is lack of capability )

of corraying on a serious correspondence with me
on ANY vital matter.

Dagen Nyheter did use a facsimile of my italian scribble
meaning

"Every man has the right to have his ideas examined ONE at a time."

That has got past several copy desks here.

Canadian b.b.c. wanting colourful splurge / and even the brits/
wanting flare up on private life.

I gave Canadians one sentence, from
a conglomeration where I had been concealed from the enquirer by
back of congressional chair.

to effect: Either Oberhart and Bankhead
were afflicted by total incomprehension or total ignorance
of history if they supposed that a rent on none of 1046
per annum, wd/ be a benefit to humanity.

They didn't, so far as I make out, USE that. Excuse being that they
WOULD use it, if and only if as preface for a colour piece.

Miserum hum. sent. etc.

Dear C.D.B.

Been trying for two days to hold off writing until
you got rid of yr/ ms. ( re/ what . or re/ whom ? )

BUT can't let it rest. You are caught in the current. " Tortured
me FROM FOOT !!!! "

I doubt if anyone can write a readable "Bacon".
And you can't write without a protagonist. I.E. someone fighting
for something.

Pirandello said to me he had been worried at hearing
Cocteau was doing an Oedipus, but then stopped, saying : No , he
wont fall into Mr Freud , parch qu'il est trop bon poete. "

And for god's ache, you who are one of the few who doing ANYthing
useful, fer garzache don't fall into the slough of psychiatry.

You can't dodge the whole problem of REAL sovreignty, or
the Court's betrayal of all of us, by not restisting the betrayal
of ec 23. 1913.

Disraeli's doubleOx of parliament. etc.
CanI I persuade you to read some history, such as Del Mar or Benton
Randolph has been done. Raleigh was onto something :
Genova having " nothing left but her usury ".

C.F.Adams may have covered up something. It was Jackson the
bank tried to kill.

Ford ( F.M. ) re/ buncomb of Bacon writing Shx. , that Bacon
COULD only have written the sort of ( .... I forget epithet )
journalism he did write. "

scusi il disturbo
