Rev & Superb Sir:

I wish I knew whether you had gotten my letter I sent by
the clipper or whether the fishes got it, or the censors
got it. Or what. Anyway, you haven't replied and so I am
making my plans to go west rather than to Rapallo.

Natheless after reading the Adams CANTOS I am convinced
that an explanation is essential and I hope you can be
brought to that view and also to supply the facts for
the same. Please tell your admirer your views in this
matter.

Ann didn't have any Chinee cantyers. Just Adams. Nor
did she have the ideograms. She did give me the China
map, which I don't think I would want to use for fear
of throwing people off. Tho, I dunno. Why don't yer
behaptitude just correct thoroughly a copy of the
Faber edition and ship me that.

Re the two enclosures. Yale's proposition seems good.
Do you want me to go ahead with that? Lemme know.

Re Liveright. They appear to want to hang on. Do you
want them too? If not, I suggest that you closely
scrutinize your contract with them and see if they
haven't broken it in some way. I don't approve of their
having yer poems. They just sleep on them. Don't do
nothing with. Have no pep. Now when people are being
real hard on you here Boss you need somebody to put
yer best feet forward fer you with some force and
taste.

Waal, prince, declare to yer servant yer desires and
also lemme know ifn you ever got that letter I sent
by the clip-clap.

Apostolic Potentate:

I am sorry to have been silent these several weeks, but, as
you may have guessed, have been off in the mountains skiing
and acquiring natural wisdom. I wanted to come over to Italy
to see you but couldn't seem to manage it. Or rather your
invitation didn't arrive until all my plans were made to
come to the West.

I think that everything is now in shape to go ahead with all
the Cantos. I am satisfied about the Jewish situation and
dare say I was being rather childish about it. It was really
a good deal presumptuous of me to start telling your honour
what not to write. I hope you understood the purity of me
boyish idealisms.

I have asked Ann to draw up a contract and I trust she will
do so with all dispatch.

About the commentary. Agreed that there should be none in
the book, would you object to a small pamphlet to be included
with each copy, but quite unofficial? I really think that
would help a lot. I will just try to explain a few things
about the structure and nature of the poem in plain language
and remind a few of these here conks that poetry is not a
matter exclusively of birds and bees. Further, D Schwartz
is willing to say a few words about your mastery of metric
and idiom. He has been reading the last bunch very attentively
and writes to say that he thinks you are one of the great
masters of English poesy in this respect. I would like to
have him handle this end of it as you know me I have no ear
to speak of and cannot catch the finer etc. Will that be OK?
A little enconium on yr metric by me pal, and a few hints to
the puzzled reader from Jas. I agree with you that Time will
resolve these little perplexities but in the meanwhile it
would be nice to sell some books. I have told Ann I would
like to offer youse a hundred advance on these new ones. That's

I have this day despatched to Ann Watkins a check for $93.75, which covers a 10% royalty on POLITEESSAYS up till 6/1/40 - 375 copies sold.

Will have checks for you on ABC and TA HIO when you let me know do you want this sent to you or kept in this country? Also do you want an advance on the new CANTOS? Am agreeable to shelling out a hundred on them now.

These are bad days indeed and I hope no ill befalls you. Let me know if you need any help. Ann tells me you have parted company with here. Where shall I send the contract for the CANTOS?

About that there modus vivendi. You can quote me to this effect.
I have nothing against jews in general. All I want is to

has got to be KNOWN. It has got to be part of the common

Pore ole Harriet wd. have riz to THAT line .

Dare say you were right about Dillon being a pewk/ still
a waste of that annual fund if NOTHIN_ can be got away from
the kike proteges of the Cuggleheim and other foundations.

I dont make out what has happened/ they SAID they were sending the
paper and paying fer two canters/ I want the money.

As to the heleckshun, we have got uncle Frank back again and he is footing it as fast as he can for to join in the general altercation. The bastid. As you know, we got conscription here now and a great caterwhaulwing and howling around as to nashnul policy. Myself I say it is all a lot of balls and the basic problems is still hignored by all but a few. As to the draught, I drew a number in the middle and do not expect to be disturbed this year and perhaps next, and am in hopes they will be over the damn foolishness by then. There is great hindustrial hactivity here and much dough flowing but taxes are being raised very heavily so nobody is very cheerful about it or having much allusions as to the final outcome. Well, estemmed and revered Sir, I trust you are making out somehow and will soon return to the comparative tranquility of yr native etc. With regards to anything that remains of cur former acquaintances. Oh yes. Rapalusion note. Kay San Faustino as was married Ives Tanguy the surrealist painter. They live in NYC and are said to be illuminated examples of super-real love.
