Dear Mr. Eielson:

We are pleased to report that we have arranged to pay
you through the Chase National Bank of the City of New York the amount
of $39.00 in payment of your poems, *Ode to Winter* and *Park for a
Sleeping Man*, which appeared in issue #1 of THE TIGER'S EYE at our
translation fee of $1.00 per line to author and translator for 39 lines.

The office is undergoing reorganization in preparation
for transferring the business end to another firm, and in going through
our various files it came to our attention that we have no record of
ever paying you for your poems.

It has been a pleasure to have you as contributor to
THE TIGER'S EYE. The editors are hoping to continue the magazine in
the fall.
