by FERBER, Edna (1885 - 1968)
New York, 1933. unbound. very good. 1 page, 8 x 5 inches, East 56th Street, New York, April 8, 1933, to Clara Claasen, at the Saturday Review, thanking her for a present, in part: "No writer ever before had such a scrap book, dear Miss Claasen. It is so beautiful that I can't bear to sully it with old newspaper clippings and bad photographs. It makes me feel very self-conscious about my next novel. It never can be worthy of the memorial. You and Dick Longwell may be responsible for my giving up writing altogether..." Very good condition. American novelist and playwright best remembered for such works as Show Boat (1926) and Giant (1952), among others. (Inventory #: 278716)
