I saw a literary note yesterday, saything that you will soon bring
out a new volume of poems. We have not yet printed your poem—"Death's Valley," written
at our request. We do not know whether you think of using this
poem in
your forthcoming volume; indeed, we presume that you do not, as we
secured it with a view to its publication at our option as to time.
But we ought to draw your attention to the matter, to guard against the
possibility of your issue of the poem before its
appearance in our
magazine.
