Museum of the City of N.Y. (of which I am President) on the occasion of the '$24' Award that we
give annually to a citizen of NYC who has done something for the old town. The dollars are
supposed to be the price the Indians paid for Manhattan! As to your question its answer is
contained in my memoirs 'A Writer's Capital' published by Houghton Mifflin in paper back.
Sincerely." Photograph not present. Louis Auchincloss (1917-2010) wrote fiction while
remaining an active lawyer specializing in estates and trusts. As such, he is well qualified
to write about lives of well-to-do, well-connected WASP New Yorkers, the subjects of
much of his fiction. His recent works include short stories (Manhattan Monologues, 2002)
and novels (The Scarlet Letters, 2003). He has also written several biographies on subjects
including Edith Wharton, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Fine condition.
