I send enclosed a proof of an engraving by Closson from
Innes's beautiful painting—"The Shadow of Death."
I send it on the chance that it may meet some spontaneous current of poetic movement
in you. If it does will you let the movement have its course & let us have the result in the shape
of a poem which we may print in our magazine? We intend
using the illustration as a frontispiece. If you find no motif in the picture, please return the proof to us.
