My dear Miss Blackwell
                                                I am enclosing
my lecture to the Club Espanol. I hope you
may get something out of it. You will see
that I have treated Dario & Cliocano, one
the artistic poet & the other the national, as
well as the popular poetry as expressed
in the Gaucho literature. I find that by
concentrating I can get better results in
dealing with a large field. I am also sending
Mr. Coester's books, very dull & poorly written
but containing the biographical material that
you desire. I suppose we must ungrudgingly
admit that it is a pioneer piece of work.
          I am afraid that my series (6) of lectures
to the Watertown Women's Club will not
materialize owing to their lack of funds. Thank
you for your advice with regard to the newspaper
notices.
          We had a glorious time in Greenbush at
our newly acquired farm. I spent most of the

time pruning fruit trees of which I have a 
large variety.  It was a most welcome relaxation
after two months of twenty-eight hours per
week teaching.
Wellesley is to be congratulated in securing 
so eminent an authority on South American 
poetry.  I feel that I am correct in stating
that no one is doing more in bringing to the attention 
of thinking Americans - of which there are
alas so few - the beauties of the Spanish
American poets.  I shall be very glad to hear
how the Wellesleyans take your lecture.
Sincerely yours,
Samuel M. Waxman
