1 /Bishop 1958: April 8 Elizabeth Bishop to Mrs. Chalk 1 item (1 p.): TLS.

Elizabeth Bishop to Mrs. Chalk, declining to write a review of Ruth Stephan's book Singing Mountaineers. She explains her delay in replying to Mrs. Chalk's letter, and suggests that Dudley Fitts would be a possible reviewer for the book since he is familiar with Latin American literature and she is sure he would do a good review.

Elizabeth Bishop to Tambimuttu, agreeing to submit poetry to POETRY LONDON-NEW YORK if and when she wrote anything suitable. She expresses interest in the new journal, and says she particularly enjoyed "Miss Moore's review."
