Mary Carolyn Davies, New York:
I have just finished reading The Little Review from cover to cover, and much of it twice over.
Thank you for loving the things I love, and thank you for being young and not being afraid to be young! This is such a good day to be young in!
With all good wishes for the success of The Little Review (though it needs no good wishes, for it cannot help succeeding).
P. H. W., Chicago:
The article on Mrs. Meynell in your April issue sounded a little curious in its surroundings, as it was a piece of pure criticism and The Little Review is the official organ of exuberance. It is the only one, in fact, and it is a good thing to have such an organ.
