Dear Dr. Williams:

I wonder whether you might sometime have a few poems you
would care to let The Hopkins Review consider?

I don't know whether you have seen our magazine. It's been
getting around quite a bit lately. We publish a number of well-known writers:
Viereck, Shapiro, Cummings, Van Doren, Winfield Townley Scott, Coleman, Lysander
Kemp, Howard Griffin and others have been included in recent and current numbers.
More important, we publish with them a number of younger writers whose work we
feel is worthy of attention.

We should be very glad to be allowed to consider some of your
poems, and promise immediate attention.
