Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I have just seen the Pound pamphlet though Farrar & Rinehart never took the trouble to send me a copy. I think it looks fine and is a tribute not only to Mr. Pound but to the generosity of its writers.' Did I, by the bye, ever express to you my admiration for your HAMLET? It is really a very great book, and my admiration is equally great. If you would tell your publishers to send me copies of your works it would give me great pleasure and I might possibly be of use to them. I ought to buy them myself but I never hear of them in Toulon so I can't.'
