lay your burden down and appeal to some
outsider, any outsider, to choose your
poems?- MARSHALL OLBRICH,

-Congratulations on the last issue. I was
greatl y interested in the results of your
questionnaire. Even. more interesting to
me was the fact that you sent
it
out, thus
dt>monstrating that you are interested in
what your readers want, rather than in
attempting to cram down their throats
what you think they should have.-JoHN
APPLEBY,
Fayetteville, Ark.
-Just read the 10 Proposals. Absolutely
sound. Too hurriedly put together or
el~e
you tried to compress too much with
the language. Often badly expressed. A
good issue this. McCarthy's story is some
sort of high. Can't place it quite.–
W. C. WILLIAMS,

-I cannot emphasize too strongly how
much pleasure and profit I get from
Par–
tisan Review.
I get more from it than
an'" other American magazine I see. In–
cidentally, I thought that Mary McCar–
thv's "The Man in the Brooks Brothers
Shirt': is the most telling short story I
haYe read in years.-BERNHARD KNOL·

HORIZON OUT OF
DANGER
Reports reached this country early in
the summer thal
Horizon,
the excellent
English literary monthly edited by Steph en
Spender and Cyril Connolly, was in dan–
ser of losin& its paper allotment-and
hence of havin& to suspend publicalion.
The Gotham Book Mart appealed for let·
ters from American writers and publica–
tions in support of
Horizon.
The editors
of P.R. wrote one, and the letter below
is in reply
to
it.
We know our readers
will share our pleasure in knowing that
the appeal to the British authori,}ies seems
to have been successful.-Eos.

Dear Mr. Macdonald:
Your letter regarding
Horizon
has been
forwarded together with many others and
we feel now that
Horizon
is secure.
We have made copies of their S.O.S. to
us and sent them to customers in literary
circles throughout the country and asked
them to air mail statements direct to
Horizon.
Everybody feels as you do and
are delighted to help.
