http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31084205

Cabell writes on literary subjects, discussing articles and reviews he has read and plans to write. Specifically, Cabell encourages De Casseres to read his Beyond Life and Jurgen and then thanks De Casseres for an article De Casseres subsequently wrote in support of Jurgen. In turn, Cabell compliments De Casseres' Muse of Lies and Shadow Eater. He expresses regret that his schedule does not permit him to write an introduction to the latter book. Two Christmas cards are included.
