An Mrs. Roland G. Hopkins vom Women's City Club of Boston: "I am asking Doubleday Doran to send you a copy of Paul Engle's 'AMERICAN SONG', which they're just publishing, because I think both you and Mrs. Russell would be interested in seeing it. He's the young Iowa poet I spoke to you about and I think he has real abilities. And so often a book of poems gets sloughed under by the flood of novels etc. and never happens to reach the people who would like it. And, as Engle is a friend of mine, I resolved that at least his book would get into the hands of a few people who might value it [...]" (aus einem undat. Brief).
1929 mit dem Pulitzer-Preis für sein Bürgerkriegsepos "John Brown's Body" ausgezeichnet, erhielt Benét 1944 postum erneut den Pulitzer-Preis für das unvollendete Versepos "Western Star".
Teils auf Briefpapier mit gedr. Briefkopf; der wohl von der Adressatin mit 1933 datierte Brief mit stärkeren Faltspuren und einer kleinen Rostspur.
