http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647858466

The collection contains fourteen letters, notes, and postal cards from Ezra Pound to Virginia Moore, one letter from Moore to Ezra Pound, and four letters from Dorothy Pound to Virginia Moore all written during the time that Pound was a patient in St. Elizabeth's in Washington D.C. Pound discusses the magazine "Intro," William Butler Yeats, Pound's work on Confucius, World War II, and Italian travel. Dorothy Pound comments on Moore's book on Yeats and her youthful friendship with Georgie Hyde-Lees Yeats. In her letter to Pound, Moore disputes Pound's comments on books she lent him, his dismissal of modern philosophy, and his interpretation of Judaism and Christianity as solely legalistic.
