[Note from Ezra Pound to David McDowell]

This idiosyncratic note states: “Than’ g alluz a pleasure to git nooz of the Venbl. Wm. C. W.” David McDowell must have written to Ezra Pound about his fellow Modernist, the “venerable” William Carlos Williams, to receive such a response. Note Pound’s drawing of the Random House logo in the envelope’s address—it is an apt sketch of the image seen on Riding’s Collected Poems.
