Provenance : Louis Untermeyer (letter from Eliot, note on flyleaf). LOUIS UNTERMEYER'S COPY OF THE FIRST COLLECTED EDITION. On the flyleaf Untermeyer has written "E's mock-Learish description of self: 93." Tipped to the front free endpaper is an envelope containing a TLS from Eliot to Untermeyer, 13 April 1955: "... Curiously enough, I was only recently looking at a piece that you had written about my work for a volume you are doing for Simon & Schuster. So far as I understand the nature of the volume, it seems a great compliment to anyone to be included. I have ventured to suggest the correction of a few biographical errors of fact which I thought you would like to have right. I am certainly very much flattered by the general tenor of the article. The only thing of which I do complain is that you should quote from that absurd and tendentious book called 'The T.S. Eliot Myth' without pointing out that the allegations are untrue. I might as truthfully be charged with cannibalism as with most of the offences that Mr. Robins lays at my door!" Gallup A60. [ With: ] ELIOT. Selected Essays . New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1932. 8 o . Original cloth; quarter morocco folding case. LOUIS UNTERMEYER'S COPY OF THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, WITH A TLS FROM ELIOT as in the previous volume, 15 February 1933: "...I am afraid I can't help with Knopf's Chapbook series... I simply have no poem whatever which I care to have published in this way at present..." (2)
