-2 Number 100 arrived today. It's swell. I think you handle the mimeograph very well. I enjoyed it and so did some of the other boys. Be sure to save about 20 or 25 file copies for us. I am so happy that my effort pleased you. They are real crystals of my thought. Some incident or view or tiny thing will strike deep into my heart and awaken the beauty-sense there. My heart will overflow in love of you and the poem-prose results. They must happen to me; I regret I cannot summon them at will. I, too, heard the "Dance of The Flowers" and later Hoffman. I recall thinking that you were probably listening too.
