From: Taylor, Bayard, To: "My dear Sir" [presumably Brown], March 19, 1875

 Item — Folder: 1, item: 2

Scope and Contents

Begins: "Your letter was mislaid during my absence..."

Precis: I agree with the article you forwarded; no actor, etc, in this country reads English blank verse correctly, and it's not taught properly in schools. "The absence of a rhythmical ear among us ... accounts for much bad taste as well as bad poetry."
