8 December 1952: "I am sending you herewith a drawing that I made for your poem. . . . I hope you feel it to be appropriate."
2 March 1953: ". . . I wish that such distinguished writing as yours could have the acclaim and wide circulation that it deserves. A serious malady of these times is the widespread cultural demoralization: Demoralization of the masses through the debauchery of their taste and education, and of the more literate elements through their chosen escape from the real issues of our day."
