Description

Marianne Moore

Nice collection of four letters, including three ALSs and one TLS, totaling five pages, dated from 1957 through 1967. All letters mention sculptor and author Malvina Hoffman. One, in part: “I am just back from Westport and New Canaan,—after a reading I had promised to give…If I am on a television program I shall notify you. I have to be away so much in September and October I may not fit in with the Clifton Fadiman, Steve Allen programs or any of the others who have talked of having me.” Another, in part: “It is so like you to send me word of your success in saving the life of dear Mrs. Byam. (I feared as I read that the struggle was fatal and am thanking God that you are both alive). Mrs. Byam was very dear to Malvina Hoffman.” In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
