Description
From the Bart Auerbach Collection. One letter a bit wrinkled and with a few faint stains. 2 pages, large 8vo (or small 4to) and a half-page 8vo, all single-spaced, with two envelopes. With a glossy photograph of Caldwell and a TLS and a signed card from his wife Virginia to the Conrads. The first two letters concern Caldwell's presence at the Conrad-run Seventh Annual Santa Barbara Writers Conference which he attended at the latter's invitation: "... The most recent [book] was two years ago... 'Afternoons in Mid-America'... circulation of all 50 books has been calculated to lightly million plus..." Most of the third letter relates to Sinclair Lewis and a visit he paid to Caldwell in Darien, Conn., "a long, long time ago now." (BA).
