The first dated June 20, 1935 is attached to record [:476;476:] . In this second letter, dated July 9, 1935, Deutsch states: “The ms. [of your poems] came to me so late that I do not know whether I shall be able to include anything in my text, and may be reduced to a mere mention of your work without quotation. But if I can quote, will you be so good enough to give me your permission to do so?” As a matter of fact, Deutsch’s reference to Rukeyser, in This Modern Poetry, was “reduced to a mere mention” of her work (252-3) “without quotation”. (See record [:479;479:] ).
