His program is expanding to the ten greatest recent American poets starting with [William] Vaug[hn] Moody and ending with Sara Teasedale and Edna St Vincent Millay. The program will also cover, Joaguin [sic] Miller, Longfellow, Bryant, Poe, Whitman, Dickinson, and he names more. He thanks her for her help in planning his class” [WC]
