Wed, Sept 22, '37 Dear Sherwood: Thanks for your letter. It was not only fine to hear from you–what you said did me a lot of good. What you say is true–I do, and have all of my life, gone for everything–not only writing–hell for leather. I seem to mettle each experience as if, in circus talk, I am "now about to embark? engage? in a hair-raising, spine-freezing, gravity-defying duel to the death with the universe"–I supposed thats why that shrewd and wise and nice? mother-in-law of yours told you I was working? pretty hard on myself, I went home this summer for the first time in about 8 yrs. to unknown it out, unknown it out, unknown it out with?
