Description
From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Together 5 1/2 pages, 4to, approximately 2050 words (four of the letters single-spaced, one double-spaced). In very good condition. The letters constitute a virtual running account of Schulberg's occupation with 'What Makes Sammy Run': "I wrote a story last week which I am sure is the best I ever did. It is about a Hollywood writer, and called 'What Makes Manny Run'... I was bowled over when I heard I had sold my story to Liberty [magazine] for five weeks' salary ... the Manny story (which incidentally is now Sammy, because Liberty was afrain Manny Cohen of Paramount would think it was him)..." In the course of the correspondence, the 23-year-old Schulberg also praises Saroyan's 'Little Children', describes a house he stayed in ("... it looked so big and naked, and somehow forgive me, I thought of a dame lying naked in a house, all alone, and waiting and waiting..."), and comments on Groucho Marx, Ring Lardner, and David Selznick. (BA).

HEAVY SET WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL POSTAGE.FRANCOIS ROZIER (1734 – 1793) was a French botanist and agronomist. Rozier studied in the Jesuit college at Villefranche-sur-Saône and entered the Saint-Irénée seminary in Lyon. He was admitted to the Académie de Lyon. In 1779 he set himself up near Béziers (domaine de Beauséjour) where he edited his Cours complet d'agriculture (twelve volumes, of which nine were by Rozier himself, 1781–1800). In 1786 Rozier became director of Lyon's agriculture school. He returned to Lyon a few years later and assisted in the early stages of the French Revolution, asking the first two assemblies to create a national agriculture school. He became curé constitutionnel of Sainte-Polycarpe parish in Lyon during the Revolution and was killed in his bed by a bomb during the siege of Lyon. The last two volumes of the Cours Complet were published posthumously in 1796 and 1798. Our edition is the second, and contains a list of 650 subscribers at the end of the text. PROVENANCE: The Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet is a private society of Scottish solicitors, dating back to 1594 and part of the College of Justice.
