THAYER HOBSON. Typed Letter signed: "Thayer Hobson", 1p,
5½x8¼. New York, N.Y., 1933 October 20. To Mrs. Robert Thomas Hardy, New
York, N.Y. In full: "I'm frightfully sorry about the slip in paragraph
7, section 5 of the Gardner contract. I've initialed the correction. Yours
sincerely." In the year of Thayer's letter, he published the first of
Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason novels, The Case of the Velvet
Claws. HOBSON (1897-1967) was Gardner's longtime editor and close friend. He
had suggested changes to two previously rejected Gardner novels which formed the
basis of Velvet Claws. Hobson had purchased the William Morrow Company
when Morrow died (1931) and ran it as President and then board chairman until
his death. He also wrote several novels under pseudonyms, including Peter Field.
Signature smudged at "bson". Slightly soiled. Creased near lower edge. Paperclip
