TLS signed “Edna Millay,” one page, 5.25 x 6.5, March 30, [1936]. Letter to H. J. Webster, in part: “Thank you for the book. I read it with care, (And with a loaded revolver on the table beside me; but the author didn’t come in) These poems had a profound influence upon me: in fact, I decided never to write again, at least, not in English. Just to show what a sweet nature I have, instead of retaliating (as, for instance, by sending you some of my drawings ((don’t worry; I never made any)) ) I have typed out for you, not very tidily, but accurately, some verse from the March 4th edition of Punch. I am not a salmon-fisherman, but I should imagine that the author of these verses is, —and anyway, it’s a lovely poem.” Included is the aforesaid poem, entitled ‘Clean Fish: A Spring Salmon Song. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Millay’s own hand, as well as a telegram from Millay to Webster, dated June 22, 1936, concerning a possible visit, and a postcard directing all future telegrams to Millay will be delivered via telephone.
