UPLI World Congress of Poets Poetry Contests c/o Tambuli Philippines, Inc. Manila Hotel Manila, Philippines

I am entering the poetry contest of UPLI, and I am inclosing ​ herewith the registration form and a bank draft for the registration fee of $75.00 At the same time I am sending by airmail two of my published volumes of verse, A Cycle of the West and Lyric and Dramatic Poems. I am also inclosingenclosing the biographical data in the form of a reprint from Who's Who in America and the lists of honors and publications, with the two photographs you require of each contestant.

I wish I could be with you at the World Congress of Poets, but, owing to previous commitments, it is impossible. I regret this more than I can say. I treasure so much the honor bestowed upon me by the UPLI in naming me Prairie Poet Laureate of America, along with the citation from President Marcos.
