Dear Penn:

I promised to send you a batch
of Carlysle McIntyre's poems, which I hope
may be in time for your poetry prize.
The ones on the white sheets seem to me to
be as good a group of poems as I have ever
seen together. I hope you will think so too.
In any case, if you do not, please send
them back to me at once as I ought to
send them on to him shortly, and I want to
have copies made in any case before I do.

You must have seen what a grand time
you gave me in Louisiana. My affection and
gratitude to the whole lot of you, and my
special respects to your charming wife.

Dear Mr. Warren:

Thanks so much
for your kind note about McIntyre's
poems, and for your congratulations
on my recent marriage.

McIntyre's address
is The Department of English,
University of California, Los
Angeles, California. I am delighted
that you are interested in his
work for I, myself, think highly of
it.

It will be a pleasure
to see you at any time, and I hope
that it may be in Nashville at
Christmas time when I expect to be
with my Mother. Mrs. Elliott will be
with me, and we will both look for-
ward to seeing you.

The Louisiana State University
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Dear Pip:

I hope to have the article ready for
you by February the 20th.

I should appreciate it if you could,
through THE SOUTHERN REVIEW, send me several books to
include with Keith's, - notably his latest on the
British Crown (Longmanns, Green and Company, 1936).
Spender's book on the British Commonwealth 1914 to
1935, and also Jennings' book on the British Cabinet
are all relevant to the article and could be included
in a sort of general review.

Thanks very much for your note about
the Edward Douglas White Lectures. I had published one
that was substantially like the last one I gave at
Baton Rouge in one of the ANNALS though I must admit that
it was laziness and pressure on my time more than any-
thing else that prevented me from giving you a special
concluding lecture for the Edward Douglas White Lectures.

Could I send you along the whole group
of them somewhat revised within the next month of two?
If you do not wish to publish them, I think I could readily
find a market for some of them in journals such as the
*Atlantic Monthly*. Please do not feel under any obligation
to publish them for my sake.

I would like to tell you once more how
very much I enjoyed your hospitality in Baton Rouge; it
was unforgettable. I am now most happily equipped to re-
turn it if you are in these parts at any time.

We haven't any lecture series quite so suitable as the Edward Douglas White Foundation, but I may be able to work you in on a Summer Session though not this year as our schedule has already been put into effect. Do you get abroad every summer as you used to or would this summer business interest you? I may mention, incidentally, that the Godkin Lectures in which we used to have a finger are now pretty thoroughly taken out of our hands by Mr. Conant, and made into University Lectures for Harvard College by the Board of Overseers.

I hope you will give my salutations to that wonderful cook of yours. I have one now that is almost, if not quite, her equal.

Give my special regards to Brooks and to Pen Warren. I think you are doing a good job on the REVIEW which by the way I wish you would send to me, together with the bill therefore.

With warmest regards, I am

University of Louisiana
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Dear Pip:

The books which you sent
for have not yet arrived. At the
moment, therefore, I cannot go ahead
with the review, and so I may not be
able to get the finished product to
you by the 20th. I'll send it along
as soon after the books arrive as
possible.

I received also this morn-
ing a letter from you enclosing a
review of Armstrong's new book. I
am heartily in accord with the views
you have expressed as the reviewer.

In my turn, I am sending to
you a recent article of mine from the
VIRGINIA QUARTERLY REVIEW.
