I am delighted to know that Otis Bradley is a Trustee of Union. I had not known that before. I am afraid I can't promise you anything for your May issue. My time is so fully occupied here that I have had to forego outside writing to a very great extent. Nevertheless, I appreciate your asking me and shall hope to see you when I am next at Union. Faithfully yours, [signed] Archibald MacLeish". tmb.
