THORNTON WILDER. TLS: "Thornton Wilder," 1p, 8½x11.
Cambridge, Mass., 1951 July 12. On lightweight paper. To William Cole,
Alfred Knopf Inc., New York. In full: "It is many years since I read
Ford's novel, but retain a great admiration for it. As for Parade's
End, I dare not take the time to re-read it now and would not be able to
phrase a characterization of it nor do I feel that a merely numerical statement
such as you have suggested conveys much. All best wishes for the promotion,
however." Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939), was an English novelist, editor
and poet. Parade's End was the final volume in a celebrated series by
Ford published between 1924 and 1928. The works of Wilder (1897-1975)
include The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1928 Pulitzer Prize in
Fiction), Our Town (1938 Pulitzer Prize in Drama), The
Skin of Our Teeth (1943 Pulitzer Prize in Drama), and The
Matchmaker (which became the musical Hello, Dolly!). Fine
condition.
