My dear
Hathaway :

Many thanks for the welcome
letter and the clippings.
Don't mention not having
written. I am immersed
in that heinous iniquity
to the ears.

Remind me to sign the
books when I see you.
Also thanks for the words
of appreciation of the sonnet —

so called ! Some years ago
I began this series, and this
summer I have been trying
to extend it with M.P.K.'s
invaluable aid. And we
have now a collection of
about forty poems in this
form. If we can make enough
to fill out a book, I think it
will be an amusing experiment technically.

Do you know the sonnets of
[Heredia] as translated by

Frank Sewall and issued long

A beautiful book !

If one could only simulate
it in good Canadian —
American — English !

I am feeling much
better in the past few
days after some weeks
of a more or less
putrid Condition, and
hope to waggle off to

Manitoba early in
January.

Lord love you

Carman
