I am sending you by this mail the corrected page
proofs of the book of poems3. I expect the printers
will groan, for I have cut out one short
poem4 that was really too bad and have substituted two others in its place.
Please ask them to have the page proofs5
ready by September 20th if they can, and I will read them soon after my return to
town6. Ask them to send me a proof of
the prefatory note7 at the same
time.
