My dear Sherwood:

I am addressing these few lines to you to [ ] you are not there. Perhaps you are in N.Y. [ ] accounts or [ ] you have been lecturing in the East, as I now attend any lecture I have not come to hear yours. But I have been reading your "[ ] " and I wonder, slightly amused, whether you still hate crowded halls filled with hopes (men and women) who want to become writers.

[ ] learning through a [ ] criticsm of American literature, I find your explanation of realism [ ] cut. Ex-futurism is not quite the right word, and I do not use 'ex futurism" for its much too much of the class- noun, and name them that, does not fit your theme, Let me call it [' '] for [ ] to point out the difference.
