[Letter from William Carlos Williams to David McDowell]

In this letter, William Carlos Williams asks David McDowell if he would be willing to publish an essay on rhyme by Sidney Lanier, “one of the early poets of America.” Williams notes that Marianne Moore had never heard of the important essay and that publishing it would benefit both poets and scholars “for a long time.”
