Kindly pass lightly and casually over the first part of the book, the Songs of the Press, and read with fortitude the Other
Adventures in Verse, which is the heart work? . The Press stuff is verse? jingle, addressed to the people who are marching
to rag time music and whose dominant singing note is fond? in the Corn? diacritic song? . I th illegible the stuff, which
is what Carlyle would call rocking verse rhyme, would popularlize the book. And, you know, even Lowell was not above that
sort of thing. In the unlikely event of your wanting another copy you may have it. With kind wishes to you and Mrs. Muir,
I remain. Yours faithfully Millard 03001
