It is addressed to Theodore Morrison (American poet, 1901-1988) and is a response to a letter from Morrison requesting a "human or poetical" piece for the "Atlantic Monthly" magazine. As Santayana explains in his polite refusal "..it is hard for me to separate the more agreeable from the more arid side of things, and I am afraid my poppies can grow only amidst the corn -- making both, perhaps, rather weedy.." It is signed "G. Santayana." The letter, folded once in the center for mailing, is very legible and very fine. .
