Dear Eunice Tietjens,
… Are you still connected with Poetry? I forget – well, did I write you when Ficke and Bynner had been here – Japan? You, all Americans, come always like a wind and pass away so quick again like the wind – so you see that when they, Ficke and Bynner, had been here, I had seen them, in fact, hardly enough. Bynner sent me his new book of poems …
Perhaps you like to work together with me for the Anthology of Modern Japanese Poetry. I will roughly translate the representative poems of our younger poets; you will put them in a presentable free verse. Then the book shall be published with both of our names. I think that the MacMillan Company might like to publish such a book like that. The book will have some one hundred fifty pages.
…
Can’t you send me a copy of Miss Monroe’s anthology published by MacMillan?
Yours Truly,
Yone Noguchi

Dear Eunice Tietjens,
Certainly you can use anything from my books. When you wrote John Murray of London, I already gave you such a permission …
Hurriedly,
Yone Noguchi
