American Modernist poet (1879-1955) who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his Collected Poems in 1955. Scarce TLS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 7.75, June 10, 1952. Letter to author William Y. Tindall and his wife, in part: “I greatly enjoyed my visit to the Claremont enclave last week, perhaps because I drank more Scotch highballs there than I have drunk all together in the last five or ten years (this is because I don’t drink Scotch as a rule). But how nice and cool and comfortable it was way up in the air. Your street with the Julliard School in the distance gave me a better idea of the size of Columbia than have ever had before. This is all the more true because whatever impression I have had was based on the Low Library which Mr. Tindall spoke of as something of much diminished importance. While that may be true in respect to the life of the place, it is not true in respect to Columbia as a scene…My whole visit pleased me. When I used to live in New York it was often the case at this time of year as I turned down Fourth Avenue on my walk downtown the freshness of the air and the brightness of the sky were things that I wanted to tell someone or other about. Friday morning of last week when I came out of my hotel the weather was exactly like that once again and the thirty or thirty-five years that have intervened were erased.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
