I've long been wanting to tell you that I think you treated me3 generously4 in your Anthology5. I hope you'll like the new book6.
Yes7, Zoe, there is a certain kind of reality about Spoon River8. But life is hard enough without that. I hate the syntax most. Yes, I believe "Dora Williams"9 lived10, and that she sleeps in a "campo santo" (curse her!) and thinks it's swell. Maybe, as she says French and Italian were spoken in her "sweet apartment," but God knows English wasn't.
