Hi Roxana,
As a non-academic in your midst, I must say that I'm very impressed with
both your ambition and your resourcefulness. Wow.

When I started the Ezra Pound Association I became a collector of all
things Poundian and now have quite a library. It's clear that the
birthplace will never be a study source, so I've just been hanging on to
them, wondering where they will eventually end up. Should you folk ever
decide on a semi-permanent location with book shelf potential, please
consider accepting this collection as a gift, shipping included. I don't
even have an estimate on number of volumes, much less a list, but I'm
guesstimating about thirty, perhaps more. In the mean time, I'll keep
looking for and collecting.

My very best,
Jennifer Wilson
