XX Richard Haven to Evangeline Barrance
Reading edition
Dear Evangeline (what a long name!), I am so busy in trying to be a beguiler to your Aunt Verena, on my own account, that I don’t think I shall be able to contribute to your magazine; but I wish it very well and I shall try to collect something for you from a literary friend here and there. Being funny is too difficult for me anyway.—Yours sincerely,
Richard Haven
