Scarce ALS, one page, 6 x 8, June 18, 1938. Letter to Mr. Johnson at the St. Botolph Club in Boston. In part: “David McCord asks me to let you put on my small play called A Way Out. I shall be glad to have you. David and I may get over from Concord Corners to see you do it. We shall try to. You are free also to make photostat copies of the play for your actors. I am sole owner and no one’s permission is needed but mine.” In fine condition, with some stray ink marks and subtle stain to the top. A Way Out was Frost’s very first play, which he first published in 1917. In addition to this desirable literary content, this letter is rife with artistic associations—McCord was a fellow poet and executive at Harvard, and the St. Botolph Club was an early private arts club in Boston that counted the likes of William Dean Howells, John Singer Sargent, and Daniel Chester French among its members.
