ANDERSON,  Sherwood.  AUTOGRAPHED LETTER SIGNED  (ALS)  to  author
Frederick  O'Brien. 16 March 1927. An three-page letter on both  sides
of  Hamburg-Amerika  Linie stationery SIGNED as "Sherwood"  to  author
Frederick  O'Brien. Before writing books such as WHITE SHADOWS IN  THE
SOUTH  SEAS,  O'Brien  was  a  Director  of  Education  for  the  Food
Administration  for  California  and an assistant  to  Herbert  Hoover
during  World  War  I. In this letter, dated 16 March  1927,  Anderson
mentions,  as a way of explaining a missed visit, his little girl  and
his  son  John, "a young lad with a flare [sp] for painting," as  well
as  his  attending  to matters concerning several of his  books  being
published  in France and his wife's being ill. He concludes by  saying
how  he  is going back to the farm. "This winter I have done  nothing.
It is a time of internal disturbance for me." Near Fine        $750.00
