I want to tell you how very good the first issue of The Little Review is. I don’t know what the succeeding numbers will be like, but you have set a pace in this one that will demand some vigorous effort to keep up. After that “gripping” announcement no one will doubt the real purpose of the Review and the fine optimism that is behind it. I don’t have to believe everything you are going to print, but if those who write it do, by all means keep them together. And don’t let George Soule get away.
It’s too early to make suggestions, but I should say that Number One is well balanced and very readable, and I like the trick of throwing the light on from different angles—like the Galsworthy and Nietzsche discussions. The tone is high, and I am quite sure I never read more intelligent reviews anywhere.
Good luck to The Little Review!

Will you let me thank you for giving me a very pleasant experience in reading the first copy of The Little Review? There are many things in the first number which arouse one’s interest, though I am not sure that I would at all agree in all the critical judgments which are there pronounced. Anyway, you will let me wish you all success, and wave you my hand with the hope that The Little Review shall be the biggest review in the country.

Congratulations must be pouring in on you from all sides, but I want, just the same, to add my voice to the chorus of “Bravos” that surrounds you.
The Little Review is a triumph. It even outdoes my picture of it; and that is saying much, for I have known it was to be something exceptionally nice.
