I was sorry to fail you in the matter of the quatrain; but I have no heart of that sort of thing, however I may admire good things of the sort when done by others. I hope my message reached you while Markham was still in the house. It was timed to arrive during the tea-flight.
I enclose 1.25 for another Address, which please mail to Mrs. J.E. Ballinger 1448 Dewey Boulevard, Butte
Doctor Neihardt!
Chicago, Ill.
Mrs. Markham sends us her notice to let you have our volumes of poetry for 1921 for use in judging the best book of poems of the year. I think they have already been sent her and you too. The Poet's Pack is out of the running, I fancy, as it is for single poets. Candles in the Sun, by William Griffith, and our brochure In Gossamer Grey, by Oscar Williams, are, I think, the only ones we have to enter in the competition. I think they are already in your group for consideration, but if not of course I'll be glad to send them.
