American modernist writer and critic (1885–1972) whose works, particularly his poetry, occupy a central place in twentieth-century letters. TLS, one page, 8 x 10, April 22, 1919. Pound writes to publisher R. Cobden-Sanderson. In part: “I am leaving for the continent this afternoon, shall not return before October at earliest; so I shall be unable to talk with you, or to enquire what kind of publisher you intend to be. My ‘Instigation’ will run to 400 or 500 pages, prose. It is the most important prose work I have done; you can, if you like, discuss terms of publication of it with T. S. Eliot … or with Richard Aldington…. In any case you will want to see Eliot.” Intersecting mailing folds and a mild touch of soiling and wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
