First paragraph: "Dear Mr. Freeman: as you see for the most part, I am a housemaster in a prep school and find little time to write. And the little I do write doesn't seem to come in the shape of short stories (exc. In so far as both my books are composed of 3 novelettes each). But I've often wished from afar, to appear in Vanity Fair. I hope something will come to me that I may submit to you." Vertical and horizontal fold, paper clip ghost.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Handwritten letter signed by Thornton Wilder on Alpha Delta Phi Club stationery commenting on his disapproval of the sale of an author's manuscripts to a bookseller: "June 10, 1930/ My dear Mr. Greene: In my opinion manuscripts are not a thing that should be sold during an author's lifetime. And Galsworthy' gesture may prove - with the lapse of time - to have been ill-judged. Indeed I had hoped to see your bookshop, but the routine of campus duties made inroads into many of my good intentions and into almost all that centered downtown. Sincerely yours, Thornton Wilder".

Letter. A two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) to Signor Cameramer on both sides of a 6" x 3-3/4" Deepwood Drive index card with two holes punched in the left margin. In full: "Many thanks for your letter, for your generous invitation, and for the copies of the Quaderni. These last few years I have delivered many lectures -- especially last year at Harvard. The result has been that I have now taken a 'vow' not to speak in public for a number of years. My many visits to Italy have been a constant joy. I hope to make many more, and soon. I particularly wish--for the first time--to visit Turin. I hope then to have the pleasure of calling on and hearing more from you about the work of the A.C.I. I have been reading the Quaderni with much interest. I particularly appreciated the paper on the sonnets of Belli, and the pages of Mario Praz -- always so largely master of his theme. Many thanks again for your letter, and much regret that at this time I cannot take part in your Association's work. Sincerely yours, Thornton Wilder." The QUADERNI ACI (Associazione Culturale Italiana) was a periodical published in Turin. Some light wrinkling, otherwise Fine with exceptional content. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 020612

In full: "I have a built-in respect approaching awe for air pilots. I once spent a week-end among a group of them in their 'rest hotel' at Bod Hamburg outside Frankfurt-am-Main-- what fun and good talk and that intimidating authority you have arising from your life of expertise and responsibility. Your letter gave me great pleasure. I'm still writing at 77 1/2 and your kind words have given me a lively boost. Many thanks. All cordial best wishes to you and yours. Sincerely yours, Thornton Wilder." In red ink at the top of the letter, Wilder has written, "Last day on Martha's Vineyard" and the date.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. "University of Chicago," February 8, 1935. 8vo. 2 pages (recto and verso); together with a holograph addressed envelope (front only), bearing 2 canceled stamps and a Chicago postmark. To Estelle B. Schneider, in Kansas City, Missouri, responding to her letter and reaction to his recently published novel "Heaven's My Destination": "You exaggerate. I didn't cut each episode to match a scene in the gospels. It never occurred to me: that about the money changers in the temple; of the casting-out devils; nor the adoption of the child. Now you've found it [and] I rather like it. Perhaps you know the Old Subconscious that does so much work for us. The brothel episode, in fact, rather grew from an episode at the beginning of Don Q. What you have got hold of however is that all Unworldlys are apt to clash with the Worldys on about the same spots: Money, Sacred and Profane Love, and so on."; Wilder goes on to defend the novel's depiction of Kansas City and surroundings; "On the occasions I passed a night in Kansas City I took a walk at night perhaps the region looks smarter by day and I did it a great injustice.".
