TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 18, 1955. Letter to Ben W. Griffith of Bessie Tift College, in part: "In sorting and preparing to put away my files of last year I looked back through yours and saw staring at me from the top your letter of Aug 10, asking information about what stories I'd written…They are as follows: 1) 'The Temper of Steel,' Atlantic, March '48, 2) 'The Way It Is,' Harpers, June '49, 3) 'Greater Love,' Colliers, June 30, '51, 4) 'Two Legs for the Two of Us,' Esquire, Sept '51, 5) 'None Sing So Wildly'—which you know. Also there is one article in Holiday, July '52, on living in house trailers. That's the list…In connection with my own stories, you might be interested to know that there was another story which was sold to Harper's at the same time as the one above but was never published because I fell out with the late Frederick L. Allen over proposed changes for the both of them…Incidentally, all those stories except the last one were written at the same time, during a break I was taking from 'Eternity' when I had got hung up on it and didn't know where to go. As far as the new book goes, it is progressing satisfactorily if rather slowly, but I think its getting ready to start snowballing. Right now I'm taking a week or so off to get over a bad cold and a slight bladder infection resultant from it; and also because I had worn myself about out working, the real cause for the cold, I guess." In fine condition, with toning along the top edge.
