Mr. Robert Penn Warren,
The Southern Review,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Dear Red:

I'll be glad to do the review of Stark
Young's anthology, provided I can use it as a spring-
board for a brief estimate of Southern literature in
general. I found the book rather disappointing, and just
as a book I frankly do not feel that it is worth the
extended notice -- it is too choppy, gives too little
material by most authors, and does not give a well-
rounded picture of the region's literature. This of
course would not interfere with a generalized article
based on Ypung's book, which is the only kind, under
the circumstances, I feel that I could do. Please let
me know if this will be satisfactory.
