FOREWORD
As I have often said, life is a series of circles within circles. It might be called Fate. Whatever it is, it often ads to an extraordinary sense of fulfillment: The feeling one has when dropping a crucial piece into a particularly difficult jigsaw puzzletriumphant. This was what I felt when I learned that a manuscript, half-finished, half-completed, had been recovered from its oblivion of forty years.
It was in 1934, as a young professor at Ohio State University, that Dr. Robert Newdick had fallen in love with the poetry of Robert Frost. The correspondence that developed between the two men is particularly illuminating.

Apparently, no one was aware of how much valuable material in letters and articles (printed and unprinted) were available. I had visited the Newdicks in 1937 and, when a friend, Dr. William Sutton of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, was visiting me, he brought up the name of Robert Newdick. I wondered whether Mrs. Newdick had retained her husband's work on the contemplated biography. Opening an old address book, we found not only the address but the telephone number in Columbus, Ohio. She answered the phone! And, consequently, Dr. Sutton got in touch with her immediately on his return West. Mrs. Newdick's cooperation and interest were of the greatest benefit. As a result,
