Dear Sir,

I am returning you Mr Aldington's poems after all, as
on consideration I think we would rather do a short story, at least
we would rather begin with a short story. We did his Eaten Heart,
a beautiful poem, and are now very interested in his prose. Mr
Aldington has written me about the matter and says we can have the
pick of his war stories as yet unsold; he suggests Meditation on a
German grave - Will you be kind enough to register this and any others
still free and send as soon as possible to Miss Cunard, The Hours
Press, 15 Rue Guénégaud, Paris, be ? Would you at the same
time please include *whxx* terms of payment ?
