Summary

Senhouse had requested from Eliot a favorable comment ("commendation," Eliot calls it) for a volume of poetry that the firm Secker and Warburg intended to or had published. Eliot understands the difficulties of finding a market for poetry, but he explains that he cannot comply with such a request. He may not, he says, do so for Faber publications, so how could he justify doing so for another publishing house.
