Dear Mr. McKerrow:
Your letter of March 17th reached Chicago while I was absent on a visit of two weeks to Alabama.
I was very much interested in your project to establish The Review of English Studies and send you my heartiest good wishes. I shall also be glad to aid you at any time in any way that I can. Just at present I cannot promise to send you an article for the first number because I am too deeply engaged with the preparation of other publications, articles, and books, which are long overdue. Some time during the summer or autumn, I think I might promise to send you something.
I am not surprised that you will not be able to pay for contributions and I am quite sure that no American scholar will expect any pay, as no publication of this class in this country is able to pay at all.
Again wishing success to your undertaking, I am
Sincerely yours,
John M. Manly
