Description:
Unbound. Fine. Various sizes. Mostly fine condition. Mailed by the poet to her nephew (who collected books of poetry and autographs of poets) with the original mailing envelope. Many of the cards are of commercial origin, but several are specially printed with verses of poetry by the sender (including a Signed example of Widdemer's own card for that year). Most of the cards are from other authors, mostly poets, including Laura Benet, Jean Starr Untermeyer, Stanton Coblentz, Fannie Hurst, Dorothy Quick, Mary Margaret McBride, Vernon Watkins, Ida A.R. Wylie (four page ALS), Leslie Nelson Jennings, Ben Lucien Burman, Jean Bothwell, and others of lesser note. A few of the senders are unidentified by us, but most are obvious. Thirty-one cards in total.
