Dear Poundians:

Does anyone know off-hand what evidence James Wilhelm was working with
when he claimned that "in opposition to the general will of the community,
Home [...] freely invited many Italians and Jews and other 'foreigners'
from Philadelphia to his home" (American Roots 73)?  I've never seen
anything to corroborate that, other than Wendy Flory's claim that Homer
sublet their home to a Dr. Hackenburg at at least one point around 1903.

Also, has anyone been following the reviews of the new biography of John
Adams?  It gets me to thinking whether or not we can say that Adams
replaced Jefferson in Pound's affections--or whether he simply made room
for another hero.
