Scope and Content Information

In this letter to Lady [Augusta]Gregory, Pound writes concerning William Butler Yeats, "Yes, ordinary people ... will be a great bore after having W.B.Y. to myself for so long. ... When I saw W.B.Y. on Monday he was rather depressed at the prospect of America - but not nearly so much as I should have been in face of that impending misfortune." He also mentions his editorial assistance for Yeat's Responsibilities and Other Poems , his visit with [Wilfred Scawen] Blunt, his Japanese plays, [ Certain Noble Plays of Japan ] which had an introduction by Yeats, the loss of the psychic-researcher Fielding, and the London critics reaction to a production of Hamlet at the experimental "Little Theatre" of London.
