WILLIAMS,  William Carlos. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS).  Rutherford,
NJ:  23  Sept.  1960. Fine Typed Letter SIGNED as "Bill"  to  Wesleyan
librarian  Wayman Parker. In part: "'A Dream of Love' is a script that
I  have  had  to revise. A corrected version of it will appear  in  the
next few months."  Williams tells Parker that it would be useless  for
him  to print this piece again as it will appear along with four other
plays under the imprint of New Directions.  He concludes on a personal
note:  "Your  father  was one of my closest friends  during  the  last
years  of  his  life and your mother as her own end  approached.  They
were  people  whom  I  love and admired, a breed of men  close  to  me
heart."  Fine, with typed envelope.                           $1000.00
