Dear Carolyn:

Today I am returning Peters, Rilke, Masks and the Man. As I mentionea ifi'
my card I would like if possible to keep Mason Rilke... and the anlish qpeaking
world. ‘J VHF“,ij;-

Do you by any chance have the Leishman translation of the SOnnets to Ornheus
with the German text facing? I have no German text of the sonnets. Pven the nlain
German would be ok as‘T have a tranSlation;’” ”’ “ , , 2

Do you have E. eller The Pisinherited Mine? Q7353n3 fl 9L4? ffi"7‘

Did the otherlfiilke hooks come back? '

I would much annreciate any one of these if available.‘

Victor did not trite, or I did not get his "questions".

Rilke is interesting to me as the kind of solitude that should not be mine: nurelv
poetic. Not that it does not have a great importance, but it is different from what
I seek. Still, one must know Rilke. I wonder that Victor does not like the Duino
Elegies or the Sonnets to Orpheus: they have a lot in common with the vision 0? the
muses that is so important in Victor's work. .

est wishes to you both for the New Year. I am kent busy chonning wood to
keep warm-
