[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Archive of Letters from Author William Kennedy to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan

[Charles Agvent]

KENNEDY, William. ARCHIVE consisting of 1 AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) 
and 4 TYPED LETTERS SIGNED (TLSs) to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. 
Interesting group of letters between these two famous Irish Americans, 
all SIGNED as "Bill." In the earliest letter, Kennedy remarks about a 
speech by Moyniham on the Harriman legacy: "I note in the speech you 
call me 'incorrigible' which delights me.... I was relatively new to 
reporting when Harriman was governor, covered him a few times but was 
very remote from politics, far more interested in interviewing gamblers, 
winos, war heroes, and Louis Armstrong.... I loved your stories about 
Albany politics when we talked." In other letters, Kennedy discusses 
details of the movie version of IRONWEED, inviting Moynihan to its world 
premiere in Albany, and work on his new novel. Near Fine to Fine.
