Transcription:
1 Menlo Park, 2 June, 1914 My dear Maecenas: Your kind word is cheering, would be more so but for the disquieting hint
about your health. You are most kind to think still of going with me for a short sojourn in the wilderness. You would find
me a poor camper woodsman. I have generally cont illegible ed to have somebody with me to do the work.- I enclose for you
a page I have comp illegible ed with infinite illegible ortions variations. Its half scriptural, half illegible ic arcadian
charm would appeal to you --- if I have communicated it. I am getting illegible . My doctor tells me to go take fall timber?
. But I'm 05760 2 trying to get a few more cantos in shape for publication; for I am in sight of the end (only four
more to revise thoroughly - - others to retouch). But the end is like that arch which resides? forever forever as we move?
. First I see no way of rendering a given passage; afterward too many ways --- none good enough. I am thinking more more
of return to Italy this summer. There is a least peace. Affectionately Yours, Melville B. Anderson 05760
