Two autograph letters signed,2 pages. In the first letter Wilson writes of the poet John Wain, who had just been visiting and "is a mad admirer" of Perelman's. Wilson is reading "The Most of S.J. Perelman," and doesn't understand how SJP "having been born, I find, nine years later than I --- [knows] about Elbert Hubbard, Chimmie Fadden, & The Japanese Schoolboy" and if Perelman's readers recognize the references. The second letter notes SJP's recent pieces in The New Yorker. Perelman's answers are published in Don't Tread on Me, p. 206-207, and 220-221.
