| 71 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Charles

highly unorthodox, but informality in such times as ours is I hope
excusable.
|
| 71 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Iris Barry Toronto; Dear Barry. A letter from you has not, I hope, gone
astray? Shaould you at any time write me and not hear withing a few days,

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Dorothy
Pound London; Dear Dorothy. Conditiions here do not improve, and I
am very anxious to get out of England for a while. I should probably go to
Canada first
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; Dear Kharma. For 2 or 3 weeks I have not been well.
There is (as far as I know and as far as the doctors can discover)
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Richard March London; Dear Mr. March. Your letter (of 16 Sept) is, first of
all unnecessarily rude. You may not have a carbon of it, so here is how you
express yourself
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Lynette
Roberts London; Dear Lynette Roberts. There has been a lot of bother
here otherwise I should have been writing you before this. The long poem is
very fine
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Geoffrey Stone London; My Dear Stone. So that is where you are! It is
tantalising to think of your relative nearness, for it would please me greatly
to see you again.

I was very glad to hear that in spite of war and offical cares
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S toFelix Giovanelli
London; Dear Giovanelli. Your letter and Sargents arrived
within a few hours of one another. As you may guess, I was enraptured.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[draft]S toFelix Giovanelli
London; Dear Giovanelli. Dear Gio. Your letter arrived this
afternoon. My rage and disappointment may be imagined
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Low London; My dear Low. It is very kind of you to allow me to use
the drawings, and those you selected were precisely what I wanted.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S toFelix
Giovanelli London; Dear Giovanelli. The enclosed is a little over the
odds and I hope no one in the publishing office sees it before the contract is
signed.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; Dear Gio. Your 2 letters arrived together this
morning. - On Sept. 20 Sargent wrote to tell me that Doubledays unanimously
okayed the book,
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Kheidrych Rhys
London; My dear Rhys. It was good news indeed that you like my
massive vignette well enough to take it off right away to the printers
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[copy to David Kahma London; Dear Kharma. This again is no lengthy epistle. It is
most kind of your wife and you to be concerned about my health.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Lynette
Roberts London; Dear Lynette Robers. Enclosed are the lists of works
with prices. When you have finished with them will you please make me a present
of them.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy to Times Literary Supplement,
Editor London; Sir. Regarding the notice of "American and Cosmic Man"
on Oct 2, I hope you will not think me uncivil, but the reviewer was no glutton
for work.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; Dear Giovanelli. Grand news! I have to thank you for
this piece of good fortune - and I do thank you. Also I apologise for all the
time
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. Paige London; Dear Paige. Enclosed are copies of 12 E. P. Letters.
About as many again will follow some time soon. Every line of the type-copy
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli

been going through odds and ends of publicity material. I don't know what you
have seen
|
| 78 |

London; Dear Gio. Letter arrived Saturday. This goes off first
thing Monday (3 agreements likewise arrived and were redispatched to you
|
| 78 |

book in Cambridge and Norwich. In the former city the situation is as I should
have expected.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S toFelix Giovanelli
London; Dear Gio. Yesterday mailed you copy of "T. S. Eliot"
book. Therein pp. 220-223, you will find passage I send you now.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Kheidrych Rhys London; Dear Rhys. I have rather radically rearranged - not
re-written - "The Rot". You did not tell me what was happening about that.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to D. D.
Paige London; My dear Paige. Thank you for your letter. I am glad
the packet of E. P. letters seemed to you worth copying out.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to John
Sargent London; Dear Mr. Sargent. The agreement reached you safely, I
lean. The two signatures resulted, as I explained upon a slip of paper,
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Geoffrey
Stone London; My dear Stone. Just a note this time - many things are
happening of which I will speak to you later: they monopolize my time
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; Dear Gio. Yesterday I sent off a short letter to
Sargent. I had intended mailing copy to you at same time, but found cartoon
mislaid
|
| 78 |

London; My dear Riichardson. It was a very pleasant surprise
to see Detroit and the rest of the address on the envelope,
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TLS & TL[copy] to Willis Feast

Wednesday night. Much better now. Your letter came a little before the
cold.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli

Wednesday night of last week. I am much better, but will write more fully
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Allan
Gwynne-Jones London; Dear Gwynne-Jones. There is obviously somebody or
other who wishes to show the Pound portrait at this time - for I can hardly
suppose
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; My dear Kahma. There has been a week's blank. A
violent head cold. This is Monday - I am much better and hope I shall be all
right
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Gene Nash London; My dear Nash. A bestial headcold is - I believe - just
departing, but I still feel a bit wooly. My silence has been abominable.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & AL[draft] to Allan
Gwynne-Jones London; Dear Gwynne-Jones. Since, for some reason, you
referred to me, I have expressed my wishes, as also any views
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. Paige London; Dear Mr. Paige. Thank you for your letter and the
draft of the proposed petition. This greatly delayed answer is owing to the
fact
|
| 78 |
|

cover, letter as you suggested. I trust that you will approve of the
quality
|
| 78 |
|

registered and express letters: one for yourself, and one (at your
suggestion)
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & AL[draft] & TL
& TL[copy]S to Times Literary Supplement, Editor London; Sir. The anonymous penman the there-words of who
lucubrations are "of course", at last has spoken. From his long
consultation
|
| 78 |

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to T. S. Eliot London; Dear Eliot. Your book, "Notes towards the Definition
of Culture", which you were so kind as to direct Fabers to send me,
|

Nov.10 - Firstly: You write: "we cannot possibly insert your letter this

specimen E. P. letter enclosed. Regarding the letter,
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; Dear Khama (or Kahma). Your letter came along today
with the admirable forgery of an Ezra letter!
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TLS to Gene Nash London; Dear Nash. Your Nov. 9 letter to hand. First, the
picture question. It appears that such a transaction as you mention -
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[draft] &
TL[copy] toSir Nicholas Waterhouse London; Dear Docker. The first two lines of "Your reviewers"
letter are, as you say, of a most questionable veracity.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Archibald
MacLeish London; Dear MacLeish. In February I arrive in the U.S. to do
some lectures and a little business. Do you know of any club or college
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Geoffrey Stone London; Dear Stone. I have hunted for your letter. But this
room is a great mass of papers and books, the box in which I place letters
overflowed last week,

a painting in the Rutherstan Collection, and am glad to know of it.

yesterday, and passed on your enquiry. P. appeared surprised.
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Kenneth Alcott London; My dear Professor Allott. In the prose part of my
contribution to the Penguin Anthology was I not a trifle indiscreet?
|
| 78 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. Paige London; Dear Paige. Re. "Mister". - I don't know if what you
say is warning me not to be fresh, or is apologising for being in so low an
age-bracket

transformation

go down that famous thoroughfare. - Are you still working for the old
Germans.
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to London Times

arts.
|

Gallery. People showed me your new book,
|
| 79 |

hear on the air the staccato numbers
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[draft]S to Augustus John London; Dear John. Much water continues to crawl beneath the
London bridges and I never see you.
|
| 79 |

|
| 79 |
|

been working my head off to get some things done
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; My dear Khama. Two of three weeks ago I wrote you a
short letter. But it was too short
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to T. S. Eliot London; My dear Eliot. That is captal - scrutinizing my
crowded engagement book, I find,
|
| 79 |
|

for you - to say yes.
|

most unbusinesslike person,
|

embarrassment for an ugly economic situation.
|
| 79 |

Mr. Paige, and he has kept me posted

- There is only one point I will stress:
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. Paige London; My dear Paige. Probably what I now report is old news
to you. On Friday I asked Eliot about the letters.
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Augustus John London; My dear John. On 7 Feb. I wrote you a letter, more or
less as under. By an oversight,
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Archibald MacLeish
London; Dear MacLeish. Your letter of a month or so ago
certainly seemed to suggest something promising.
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Richard Marsh London; Dear Mr. Marsh. It was with regret that I learned of
your fathers death over a month ago.
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Gene Nash London; My dear Nash. I must have seemed outrageously
dilatory. Three magnificent parcels,
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to John Sargent London; My dear Mr. Sargent. It was with distinct relief that
I learned the photos would pass muster.
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Nan Kivell London; My dear Mr.[sic] Nan Kivell. This note is merely for
clarification. It is about the two oil-paintings,

You are angelic to bear with what might,
|
| 79 |
|
Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to D. D.

[probably around late in 1921?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis London; My dear Lewis. How are things? I'm getting a little
restive once more - not having heard from you. On the other hand, I was quite
willing to wait [probably around late in 1921?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis London; I wish I owed you 50 [pounds] as I do Mr. Selfridge,
then perhaps you would write to me as often as he does. Marie is here; your
chum Mr. E. [pound sign] has written [probably around late in 1921?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis London; Dearest Lewis. It was nice to hear from you - the
novel is being sent today, now that I know it will reach you. Perhaps you'll
ring me up [probably around March, 1930?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis London; Dear Lewis. This about scrapes the bottom of the pot,
but here it is. Glad that things sound a scrap better. I have been in & out
of town, [probably abourt lat 1930's/early 1940's?]

|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis New York; My dear Lewis. Alas I have been in Washington almost
the entire past month & got your last letter only very recently. Your
letter makes me very unhappy
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis New York; My dear Lewis. I am afraid that I am rather a weak

your two letters [probably around 1940?]

| 88 |
|

|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis [n.p.] Dear Lewis. I have been away & distractedly busy -
but here is a fragment of assistance. What do you hear from Washington, I
fancied something was about to be fixed up for you there? [probably around
1940?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis New York; Dear Lewis. We did buy the drawings, it seemed the
only thing to do after so much delay & dithering around: whether the Museum
does or doesn't want [probably about January 1941?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis New York; Dear Lewis. I spent this week in bed - fell out of
an automobile & got a slight concussion - so things are rather awkward
[probably about December 1941?]
|
| 88 |

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis New York; Dear Lewis. Your letter I only read quite late,
meanwhile I hear Alfred Barr had spoken to you & will by all means attempt
to get the purchase of one or two more drawings [probably around 1939?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis New York; Dear W.L. Do let me suggest, don't try to see the
Picasso show at the Museum either on Saturday or Sunday - the galleries are
crowded beyond belief, [probably around 1939?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis London; Dear W.L. I think you must admit that I have been very
patient and tried not to worry you - although it is now some weeks since I had
any money from you [may be December, 1921?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis London; Friday at 12 will mean Saturday after I have some - I
suppose - however if not, and if I am not off to country Friday till Doomsday
we might dine together [may be last part of a fragment?]
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis London; My dear Lewis. It is now well on the third week during

ask yourself

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis London; Dearest Lewis. Sorry to bother you, but I didn't ever
give you the agreement I made with the people up in Burnley who have Maisie,
did I?
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis London; My dear Lewis. I wish I knew certainly whether you
were to be found cirectly at the address to which I send this letter - it is
rather a long time since you gave it to me.
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis Montreal; My dear Lewis. I wonder if after all this time I
might ask something of you? I wouldn't unless it were really quite
desperate.
|
| 88 |
|
Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis [n.p.] Dear Lewis. I have no news, alas. Two publishing houses
read the novel but apparently it didn't suit them, now a third one has it but
will give no answer until after Xmas -

|
Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis New York; Dear Lewis; I called Bennett Cerf at Random House
who said that he had written you in Canada, but imagined the letter must have
missed you

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham Lewis New York; Dear Lewis: The manuscript of "The Hitler Cult" was
sent over here on Monday by Random House, so it isn't lost after all. I'm
trying to look into the prospects

being away for the past five weeks - I was sorry that you missed me when you
called

any news, but hope the enclosed will be some slight help for the moment.
