My dear
Hathaway :

'Tis spring in
New England !
No snow. Only a fringe of ice
in the ponds. And day — sparrows
making music like the Heavenly choirs.

And in order that there be
no fault with the world, along
came by mail a book of poems
from
Duncan Campbell Scott,
and a copy of The Canadian
Monthly from you, so that a
sojourner in "these states" may

be reminded of friends in
the north as well as in the
South. At this moment I
hear a bluebird — the first I
have heard this year here.

I am just back from

Chicago and
Wooster,
Ohio,
where I went to read. Very
friendly audiences both
places. And here is Le Gallienne
with a fine review of "Later
Poems" in The Times, which
will do no end of good, I

should say. The volume is so
fresh in its rearrangement
of the poems, and so happy in
that rearrangement, that I
always feel a large share
of the credit should go to you
for it.

Happy remembrance
and best wishes always
yours

Bliss Carman
