Typed letter signed ("Ezra Pound"), to the editor or literary editor of the New York World, remarking with regard to his new periodical: "Re/ your announcement in issue of 27th Dec a slight error, and if any 'cry' a silent one; perhaps you wd do better not to present me as howling, leaping or otherwise emphasizing my presence. What I said was that I would edit a magazine IF, after reasonable enquiry, I found enough authors, or items, rejected by, or obviously unsuitable for publication in; already extant periodicals. I offered to look over mss that had been rejected by editors of The Criterion, Dial, New Masses, The American Mercury, and Poetry; or obviously would be rejected by these editors, for some reason other than inherent dullness or mediocrity"; with autograph subscription and characteristic bold deletions, one page, text at upper margin repaired, paper-clip stain, Rapallo, 12 January 1927
