Marie, in the LISTENER for April 15 -- the BBC magazine
-- there is a letter which reads as follows:

Garcia

Sir, -- With Francisco Lorca, I am editing a volume of
THE SELECTED POEMS OF FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA, in which
we hope to publish the best English translations we can
find. Translators are requested to send copies of their
published and unpublished versions of Lorca's poems,
with a self-addressed envelope and return postage, to
the undersigned.

Yours, etc.
D.M. Allen

New York 11, N.Y.

Very likely Langston knows all about this, but I thought
perhaps it would be worth while to send it on to him, in
case. This notice, I means.

The blossoms on the Hoya Canosa are all out -- for 2 days
now -- and this morning there is a perfect round drop of nec-
tar at the center of each white velvet floweret. As if some
gigantic insect were weeping out of every lense of his com-
plicated eye. There are 30 flowerets on the stalk!

Thanks for lovely long letter -- I'll be writing, soon.
