About This Item
Urbana, Chicago: Univ of Illinois Press, 1985. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near-Fine Dj. Octavo, 352 pages, bottom edge bumped
Altho he had four wives, these intimate letters were written over nearly 20 years to his mistress, Marietta D. Finley Hahn. These 309 letters were discovered after the appearance of THE LETTERS OF SHERWOOD ANDERSON. These are less love letters and more commentaries on his life and doings, and on contemporary writers from Joyce to Sandburg. Almost priceless.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
