LOUIS BROMFIELD
The Pulitzer Prize winning author responds to a request for a photograph
Typed Letter signed: "Louis Bromfield", 1p, 8x10. Senlis (France), 1933 May 10. To Lester
Roberts, New York, N.Y. In full: "Thanks for your note of April 23rd about the radio talk and
about the books. It was very good of you to write and I appreciate it more than I can say. I regret to
say that I have no photographs to send you. I suggest that you write to my publisher, Harper &
Brothers, 49 East 33rd St, New York, who should have a supply on hand. With the best of
wishes, I am Yours faithfully." Bromfield (1896-1956) won the Pulitzer Prize for his third
novel, Early Autumn (1926). No less than ten of his novels, including The Rains Came and
Mrs. Parkington, were made into films. At the time of this letter, Bromfield was living in
France, a country he had learned to love as a soldier in World War I. There he entertained
many cultural celebrities, including Picasso and Hemingway. Returning to his native Ohio in
the late 1930s, he established Malabar Farm to implement his innovative ideas on agriculture.
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married there in 1945. Lightly creased. 1-inch tear
in lower right. Otherwise, fine condition.
