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
