E.A. Robinson letter to E.C. Stedman, 1902 Nov. 10.

The collection consists of a handwritten letter to E.C. Stedman, 10 Nov. 1902, removed from a copy of Robinson's book of poems, Captain Craig. The letter expresses gratitude at Stedman's reassurance, presumably in relation to Robinson's verse and Captain Craig in particular. Critical reaction to the poems in Captain Craig was fair, but the title poem was considered unecessarily long and complex, so Stedman's comments were timely and valued.
