About This Item
New Haven, 1938. unbound. 2 1/2 octavo pages, with envelope which is pasted on a the flyleaf of a first edition of "Our Town". Addressed to "Dear Cousin", Rev. Henry Evertson Cobb, Wilder explains how he is too busy to meet, as "Now I'm in that gypsy world of the theatre I have found out that one is never sure of an appointment in the future....I was told that the meeting was preceded by a dinner which is practically obligatory for us performers...a play of mine opens in New York about then, and may involve radio appearances ...." Nevertheless he hopes that we "can steal away for a good talk...Like all Wilder and Nivens I love 'relations' and family." The letter is written on the stationery of The Graduates Club, New Haven, January 29, 1938. The copy of "Our Town" is faded & skewed.<br/> <br/>
