asked me to speak to Caesar! as it were. I ask one hundred dollars for a formal programme before a Woman's Club - since you ask. But on a visit to a college I assume there will be one formal programme and as many incidental and gratuitous appearances as the College cares to use. The one hundred dollars is for the whole visit, not the appearance - in that case. For instance in Wellesley among other things - on the side I talked to the music department on the musical element in Poetry - and was much surprised at how revolutionary they thought it was - matters you and I have taken for granted since Mother Goose days. In Herain (?) the other day I gave a talk on the side, showing the common ground and the differences between the photoplay and the novel - to the class in the English novel. Our dear Harriet writes to me from Cincinnati she is much better and I am glad - and have written a nice belligirent letter - to rouse her, and get her back completely into form. Mrs. Monroe will have to give you her next address - as she is just going further south. In many ways our Harriet is as young and firey as a basket-ball player of sixteen. For which we should all be thankful. Woe to the opposing team! I am so often the opposing team - but as I told her if I did not care to live in her Universe (?) I would not be at such pains to argue with her. She is really one of the most lovable persons on the map. I think we are fortunate in our Poetry magazine circle - if not in health - at least in character.
