2 out of this material. I wrote the story last year in Edinburgh, Scotland. A minister read the story and gave me a title for it. He liked the story.

   I didn't expect pay for this story.  I didn't send it expecting money.  I saw your new magazine advertised in underlined:  Poetry:  A Magazine of Verse; therefore, I sent you this story that has been turned down by a number of magazines in this Country - all with comments about it -
   And I sent you this story (though it may be a sorry story - I don't know -) as an appreciation for a copy of your underlined: Disinherited (Malcolm Cowley sent me long ago) which is one of the finest books I've ever read in my life.  It is truly a great book.  My brother James and  I talk about it still.
    I've never made much money from my stories and less from my books and all I have made I've sunk it on my farms Which certainly hasn't been a paying proposition.  if it hadn't been for my few sales to Collier's and my many sales to Esquire I don't know what I would have done because money has been something for me to spend and not to have.
   Good luck to you.

Always, ? Suart
