Please relay her thanks to Van Loon. Suggests

To William Lyon Phelps,
Feb. 17, 1936
; Beinecke
Has read his article on Mark Twain in
the Yale Review. Knew Mark Twain in his last years. Has always found
the Van Wyck Brooks
book about
him grossly inaccurate. Glad to hear Phelps
thinks so, too. If Brooks had been able to spend
five minutes talking with the grand old
man in his bed, he would have written differently.

Has made a note of his new address. Please don't describe her new book as nostalgic! People say that about
all her books. Isn't homesick all the time.

To Van Wyck Brooks,
Oct. 14, 1940
; Penn
Shares his high opinion of Archibald
MacLeish's statement about the war. [MacLeish called on the U.S. to enter the war in order to
defend democracy against fascism.] People pay far too little attention to statements by
important leaders. No one has made more forceful and important statements than Winston Churchill, but neither he nor MacLeish is likely to be able to wake people up to the
dangers.
