Arrangement

Both the manuscript and the corrected proof of C.H. Sisson's editorial were originally stored with the material relating to PN Review 2 and wrongly identified as relating to Poetry Nation (now at CPA/1/1/2/9). The editorials may therefore have originally been intended for publication in PN Review 2.
