Description:
Baltimore, 1944 - 1946. Letter. Normal creases from folding. Near Fine. Ten TYPED LETTERS SIGNED on personal stationery, ranging from 1 to 2 pages, addressed to Isaac Edgar Clark, concerning Clark's manuscript, “An Analysis of Ring Lardner's American Language: or Who Learnt You Grammar Bud?” Ring Lardner (1885-1933), American sports journalist and short story author, was known for his satirical style. Over the course of their correspondence, Mencken suggests publishers who might be interested in publishing Clark's work, including Maxwell E. Perkins of Scribner: "Perkins spoke of your thesis in very complimentary terms, but added that it didn't fit into his own scheme." All of the letters are SIGNED in ink, and a few have emendations to the typed text in Mencken's hand. All letters come with their original envelopes. A few examples of Mencken's comments: "I certainly hope you don't abandon your scheme for a grammar of the American vulgate based on Lardner. It would make a really superb book." "So… Read More

Description:
New York: Albert & Charles Boni, 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Somewhat larger than the trade edition, this copy has an attractive modern 3/4 brown morocco leather binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt rules on the covers and a gilt-decorated and lettered spine with five raised bands, top edge gilt. Illustrated with drawings. Copy #34 of 250 copies SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper, this copy with the initials "P. H." beneath the number. Rogers was born in Indian Territory in 1879 and had some Native American blood in his veins. He began in vaudeville and moved on to motion pictures, a career that was cut short when he died in a small plane crash in 1935 near Point Barrow, Alaska. Perhaps he was best known, however, for his syndicated newspaper column which had such a massive following that the proposition that he run for President was once seriously advanced. His saying, "All I know is what I read in the newspapers," became a popular catchword of the times. Books signed or… Read More

Description:
Washington DC, 18 May 1983. Letter. Near Fine. Two-page letter SIGNED as "Joe" on his personal stationery to journalist Richard Tobin. In part: "It did me good to hear from you again, and I am delighted you liked the FDR book. (An odd thing: the only really successful book I have ever written but turned out in a couple of months, in fact in an interval of the last lap of very much harder work on my big scholarly book on the history of art collecting [THE RARE ART TRADITIONS: THE HISTORY OF ART COLLECTING AND ITS LINKED PHENOMENA WHEREVER THESE HAVE APPEARED], which took eighteen years to complete!)." Alsop discusses the loss of both living and dead friends. "All my contemporary men friends in Washington are dead, and the biggest blow of all was the loss of my brother Stewart eight years ago." A revealing letter by an influential journalist and top insider in Washington from 1945 to the late 1960s, often in conjunction with his brother Stewart Alsop.
