Dear Edwin Markham:
I am going to do my best through the pages of “The Craftsman” in an early issue to make the dear, stupid American public take notice of the fine work of Eugene Higgins. I know you will be in...
Grinnell, Iowa, May 13, 1899.
My dear friend Markham:-
It was a joy to get your word of greeting. Some times I get very tired of heart and rather battle-stricken in the midst of the holy war, and it is only through the fellowship of such spirits as...

Dear Mr. Markham,
Your letter, with its enclosures, was an inspiration. These poems were among the very first of yours that I read (how long ago!) and they are very dear to me. Mr. Land’s...

It is long –too long-- since I have seen you. I have been thinking for some time of coming over to Staten Island to get a glimpse of you and to talk over old times. Now my young friend, Jacob...

My Dear Mr Markham,
Very reluctantly I return you the poem which I asked you for and which you kindly sent me. The multitude of which I am paid editor is owned by a Mr. Vrooman and he is making it so sensational and in my opinion,...

I shall be happy to send you something for the Whitman Celebration. Do you want a poem of twenty or thirty lines or just a message of so many words? And how soon must you have it?...

Mrs. Markham wrote me a while ago about “Tiger”, my one-act play in the May Forum that you joined her in a message of commendation. She went on to say: “it carries its lesson with more of art than any of the...

March 31, 1925
Dear A.C.M.:
I thought my Epithalamion and Elegy was “first” one evening. I know it was. Shouldn’t it have been printed with the rest? Though I was in New York, I saw almost no one. I stayed away from everything – after that ...

Dear Mr. Markham:

Jan 10 1919
Dear Mrs. Markham:
Your letter written a month ago has wandered about after me, reaching me incredibly late. I’d come for you gladly – but you see where I am: teaching verse-writing and other things in the University of California....
May 14 1913
Dear Mrs. Markham:
Bless your hearts for promptly reassuring me as to Tiger! Your letter came when I was still wondering whether my friends and readers would understand my writing and printing it. As far as I have heard, the attacks...
December 22, 1921
Dear Mrs. Markham:
This is only a post-script. I have just seen the Bulletin, and am wondering why you did not include A CANTICLE OF PAN as one of the books withdrawn from the prize contest. What is fair to the others ought also...
