I have been poring over your Bibliography for some hours. I am flabbergasted and delighted! I had not the slightest notion of anything so extensive and revealing. It's tremendous.
In reading the bibliography I have run across things once important to me and grown vague — even poems poems
that I've wanted to see again.
But, the most cheering discovery was the list of articles, many of which Florence and I have been seeking in the wrong places through microfilms. Now we can turn directly to articles long sought.
Lucile, you have done an astonishing job job of research. And your analyses of literary values are
very finely done. It is going to be a major thrill of my life to hold your book in my hand. (Hasten the day!)
Yesterday, Florence and I delivered my MS to Bruce Nicoll. We had a happy time together, and there was some talk of how the two books may best be handled.
I showed a paragraph from a letter of yours last October — about possible conflicts in our two books. He said he was very glad to have your statement about this; and we agreed that there should be a best way to give the two books to the public.
It is a breath-taking situation!!
Our movie prospects are most exciting.
