1901 / Dear Mr. Hutchinson, / Thank you much for / your kind remembrance / 
of me at the New Year, & / for your note of today. / I cannot say I take / 
great interest in reviews / of my work, & take no pains / to see them; but 
that does / not diminish my / appreciation of your kind / interest in my 
poems, / which prompted you to / send the cutting. The Odes / I am sure are 
by far / the best stuff I have published, / though they have been received / 
more coldly than any book / of mine. Still they have / found appreciation, 
some of it / enthusiastic, from friends / & others whose judgment should / 
count for a good deal. / Forgive my speaking of myself. / Again, thank you. 
With / cordial good wishes / I am truly yours / Laurence Binyon" ________The
