[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Theodore Dreiser Letter

[Charles Agvent]

DREISER, Theodore. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. New York: 29 May 1927.
A  full two-page letter on both sides of a piece of Dreiser's personal
stationery  addressed  to  Caulter (?). Dreiser discusses  his  eating
habits  and  attempts  to arrange a meal with  his  correspondent.  He
mentions  that  he just bought 35 acres near Mt. Kisco for a  retreat,
what  would become his infamous home Iroki. Dreiser concludes, "I have
followed  your  fortunes because I have known you were  directing  the
'Children's  Daily(?).'  Sometimes -- because of public news,  I  have
smiled  over  your difficulties -- troublesome no doubt but  not  much
different  in degree to the ills that assail us all." Signed "Dreiser"
with a return address and telephone number. Near Fine          $750.00
