May 19, 1964

Dear Jack:

I left two novels with Mr. Hill, at Hill & Want. One of them you read & wrote as follows:

"The novel is well done & a welcome relief from the livid, hard-swearing, i[ndefatigably] screwing, & tough- acting soldiers we've had plenty of in recent fiction about World War II. It has an appealing elegaic strain & some of it, praticularily the later sections, are comparable to Hemingway's A Farewell To Arms.
