BERRYMAN, John. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) TO POET EDWIN HONIG. 
(Minneapolis), 3 October 1965. On personal stationery addressed to the 
poet Edwin Honig at Brown University completely in Berryman's holograph 
and SIGNED by him at the conclusion. In full: "Congratulations, & thank 
you for, Survivals. I was v. much moved by some of the poems abt 
Charlotte and several others; but the truth is that I can't really read 
the book at present because I am working daily at my long poem [THE 
DREAM SONGS] and can't hear other people: to my shame be it said, I have 
a part-shelf of unacknowledged volumes. I'm sorry. I hope you & your 
handsome lady are happy near the Gristmill, which we loved, when I 
worked like a madman & where we hope to return one summer. Best, Yours, 
John Berryman." Fine in an envelope hand addressed by Berryman.
