Dear Mr. Anderson -
Now that the fury and the shouting have died down and the royalties come in (Mr. Boni consoled me by saying that Sherwood Anderson made no money on his first book) - the least I can do is to press your hand warmly and thank you for your kind words on my biography of Gauguin.
Far back in my early twenties (there is a vast gulf between the early and the late twenties) your books opened new horizons for me, or to express it less vaguely, your books gave me that thrill of recognition - that sense of seeing truth unadorned and yet beautiful.
