by SCHWARTZ, Delmore
Cambridge, 22 July 1941. Letter. Lightly creased and toned. Near Fine. Full-page handwritten letter on one side of a 7" x 10-1/2" sheet of paper to poet and anthologist Alfred Kreymborg SIGNED "Delmore Schwartz." Schwartz is delighted that Kreymborg wants to use his poem "Shenandoah" in an anthology and states that publisher James Laughlin of New Directions has no objection to it being used. "The fee is all right; although in general, I object to the way that small fry and young poets are underpaid by anthologists and subjected to a sliding scale. But I've already been paid well twice for this piece." (Inventory #: 020950)
