ANDERSON, Sherwood. ARCHIVE consisting of 2 TYPED LETTERS SIGNED (TLSs) 
and 6 AUTOGRAPHED LETTERS SIGNED (ALSs) to critic Llewellyn Jones. A 
group of early letters, all but one SIGNED in full and including five 
envelopes, dating from 1916 to 1924 with three undated, all to Llewellyn 
Jones, then literary editor of the Chicago Evening Post. The earliest 
letter, dated 27 July 1916, thanks Jones for letting "Heck" [Ben Hecht] 
write a review of an Anderson book, likely WINDY MACPHERSON'S SON, his 
first. Another letter includes a cartoon cut from a newspaper with 
Anderson's suggestion that Jones might have intended it to illustrate 
his article. In a two-page holograph letter about his book MANY 
MARRIAGES, Anderson notes how Jones "did perfectly catch the spirit in 
which it was done." In a letter postmarked 14 December 1924, Anderson 
thanks Jones for a "very lovely criticism of my book.... More and more I 
[?] to think of you as one of the solid writers of criticism in this 
country." In an undated typed letter, Anderson comments on a visit from 
Carl Sandburg and the poet's reaction to where Anderson lived. Good to 
Near Fine. (#014002)        $5,000.00
