Kensington, London [[?]]
Marse Harvey Esq.
Sir;
While not in the least surprised at the traditional contempt for accuracy in literary polemics displayed in March (1919) number of your North American Review; I still think that you are no coward and therefore dare you to answer the following question:
Do you honestly think you further literary enlightenment by printing such phrases as "using the last phrase to mean". ( p 412)
It is at all times difficult to attain accurate expression; it is difficult to keep an argument in order; but do you think you forward the matter by not merely quoting your "opponents" words but by alleging them to mean what they do not.
If your contributor had read my work with even semi-thoroughness, she would have found flat contradiction of what she alleges, I mean. Pass over the glaring imbecility of her muddling up my opinions with those of a group of people with whom I definitely disagreed and from where I as definitely separated my artistic and literary activities five years ago
I never expect fair arguing in an American periodical
