In the first letter, Yeats states "I am sorry that I have no present intention of publishing an illustrated edition of any of [my poems]." In the second letter he responds to Housman's criticism of a review by Yeats of Housman's Selections from the Writings of William Blake. "Of course you have a perfectly clear right to take Blake as a writer of 'belles Lettres' only you should make this compatible with a respectful attitude towards his mysticism also. Mysticism has been ... and will be one of the great powers of the world and it is bad scholarship to pretend the contrary."
