I was interested to see your
article upon
Santayana and the
Japanese in the
Neue Freie Presse.
I came back after all to
Vienna to finish a little
work that I am doing about some contemporary German writers. Did you then find that you
really could write something about Civilisation in the
United States from the point of view of an old
Whitmanite? If so, may I hope to receive the
article from you here or have you, perhaps already, sent it to
The Dial in
New York?
I got from Mr.
Orlik his excellent
etching of yourself and this would appear in
The Dial with any contribution from your pen.
Dr.
Schnitzler has told me of something you once wrote about
Vienna and about the influence of Celtic blood upon its character. But I do not know where
to find this article or
book of yourself. Perhaps you could let me know under what title I should look for it
at my book-sellers? And if you know of any other book or article upon
Vienna whether from your own pen or not. I should be grateful to you if you could write me of it.
May I then hope for a word from you as to whether we are to expect something for
The Dial?
