Transcription

Many thanks for [the fine little] Into The Light. I have read it thro [through] three times with growing pleasure. The divine calm of [the] Gods forests is met all through & the thoughts the serene wisdoms that [naturally] grows beneath them.

Choosing the foot of an ancient pine tree for your pulpit & a representative eager youthful questioning human soul for yr [your] audience is a happy plan.

When I try to choose the verses I like best, I find them so united the thought flowing one so stream-like I am unable to choose. Only those accustomed to sit thoughtfully & [loaf] beneath trees will [approach/appreciate] the [pain/poem] & such it sounds as natural as the wind in the branches. How particularly suggestive is
