Laid-in is a handwritten letter, dated Sept.6, 1959, addressed Dear Hubert (or Herbert?). It tells how the writer visited Bill and Florence especially to have Bill autograph this book and how he could only use his left hand because his right hand was paralyzed by his second stroke. It talks a little more about Bill's health and his indomitable will to carry on. It is signed "Mother." The letter is enclosed in an envelope dated October 22, 1958. So it does not match the letter. But the envelope is addressed to Margaret Caroll (sic) Turnbull, Lapaix Lane, Towson 4, Maryland. Margaret Carroll Turnbull was a patron of poets and she and her husband, Bayard Turnbull were hosts to the literary world in their home on Lapaix Lane. The return address printed on the envelope is "W. C. Williams, M. D. / 9 Ridge Road / Rutherford, N. J." An intriguing little association. Also laid in is a staple bound 8 leaved pamphlet 7-7/8" x 5" titled "The Rose" which includes ten poems omitted from the first printing of "The Collected Later Poems" through an oversight on the part of a typist. This pamphlet is also signed by William Carlos Williams. Very good with fold on cloth of front cover. Back endpapers toned from booklet having been laid in. On the front pastedown endpaper is the inscription to Hubert on his 37th birthday from his Mother dated Aug. 16, 1969. in sturdy dust jacket with tape repair at top and bottom of spine and corners. Price of $3.00 on front inside flap. Red cloth with spine stamped in gold Signed by William Carlos Williams in a very shaky hand on free front endpaper.…
