To „Dear John“: „Your story came just after I had left for N[ew] Y[ork] & during the past three weeks I’ve been intending to get at it every day but I’ve been swamped with work. The bezoar stone is too slight a thread on which to hang together so much diverse incident. I sympathyse [sic] with your instinct to make use of so much excellent stuff from your novel but it is wasted here. And it’s not clear. I can’t follow it. Y[ou]rs in awful haste Scott“.
