ALS, four pages both sides, 7 x 10.5, Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco letterhead, January 21, 1951. Lengthy letter to Mr. Cornell. In part: 'I cannot, alas, undertake the actual organisation of the Reading, as I am on a lecture-recital tour, shall be moving from place to place. Also I have no secretary. I think the following poets should be asked to read their poems. Mr. Auden, Mr. MacLeish, Miss Marianne Moore, Mr. E.E. Cummings, Mr. Jose Garcia Villa, and Mr. Robert Frost. How sad that T.S. Eliot has returned to England.' In fine condition, with usual file holes at top, scattered light creasing. RRAuction COA.
