Beschreibung

("Cornell Woolrich" with 10 words in holograph) in black fountain pen ink on printed Hotel Marseilles, Broadway at 103rd Street, New York letterhead, April 1, 1944. 9" x 5 15/16"; 2 pages (recto only). Fine, fresh, dark and clean. To H.N. Swanson 8523 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, Calif. The great noir novelist Woolrich writes his Hollywood agent H.N. Swanson a letter dripping with paranoia, believing his publisher, Lippincott, has made a sale of the movie rights to "Deadline at Dawn" without telling him (or paying him). In part: ".You ask me in your telegram what the situation is. I will give it to you exactly. There seems to be a conspiracy of silence on the part of Lippincott and your friend Wing concerning this sale. I went down there immediately after receipt of your first wire. I tested them by refraining from mentioning the subject for the first ten minutes of the interview. They did not mention it either. I finally had to. There reply was that all they knew about was that they had seen it in the New York papers.They are being evasive, they refuse to admit there has been a sale. I do not know what to do about this".
