Dear Mr. Darrow,
I want to say again how much I like your book. I have read parts of it aloud again and again. So admirable is the choice of words.
I sincerely hope you will carry the book forward. I very much
want
to see you to
xxx
talk with you about your literary
future
. This book seems to me an [?] of something larger and [?] to come— I go to New York again for a three week stay but I want to see you when I come back—or before I go— I wish you could come to see us here some evening. Do you come out this way? Our phone is 936 Hyde Park. I do not find your home number in the directory.
With sincere well wishes,
From your friend,
Hamlin Garland
