Wilder into a Broadway hit THE MATCHMAKER, which in turn was transformed into 
the monster musical HELLO, DOLLY!.  Each of the sets contains nearly identical 
corrections in ink by Wilder, approximately forty or so, ranging from filling in 
a lightly inked letter to adding a line of stage direction.  In addition there 
are several other pencil corrections throughout each apparently in a different 
hand.  Near Fine or better and highly uncommon.    $5000.00
