Pediatrician and best-selling author (1903-1998) best known for his hugely popular 1946 book, Baby and Child Care. ALS signed “Ben Spock,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 7.75, personal letterhead, no date. Handwritten letter to Ruth Inglis, in part: “Because of several changes in secretaries in the last couple of years and the fact that I’m on a seven-week speaking tour now, I can’t readily check the files, But I am sure I did not agree to cooperate in any extended treatment of my life or career. There is already a full-length biography by Lynn Blum published 15 years ago which required hundreds and hundreds of hours of interviewing and correcting and which was disappointing in the end. I would not agree to a repetition of such an experience – or even an abbreviated biography – without exhaustive discussions and trial runs.” In fine condition.
