[Rarebooks] FS: Archive of Letters from William Kennedy to Senator Patrick Moynihan

[Charles Agvent]

We are still working on our newest catalogue: 20th Century Literary 
Letters, Manuscripts, and Photographs and hope to have it ready by the 
end of the month.  Here is one of many fascinating items that are included.

KENNEDY, William. ARCHIVE consisting of 1 AUTOGRAPH LETTER  SIGNED
(ALS)  and  4  TYPED LETTERS SIGNED (TLSs) to Senator  Daniel  Patrick
Moynihan.  1985-1996.  Interesting group of letters between these  two
famous  Irish Americans, all SIGNED as "Bill." In the earliest letter,
Kennedy  remarks about a speech by Moyniham on the Harriman legacy: "I
note  in the speech you call me 'incorrigible' which delights me.... I
was  relatively  new to reporting when Harriman was governor,  covered
him  a  few  times  but  was  very  remote  from  politics,  far  more
interested  in  interviewing  gamblers, winos, war heroes,  and  Louis
Armstrong....  I  loved  your stories about Albany  politics  when  we
talked."  In  other  letters, Kennedy discusses the movie  version  of
IRONWEED,  inviting Moynihan to its world premiere in Albany, and work
on his new novel. Near Fine to Fine                           $1000.00
