William Louis Abbott letter, 1920s?
Scope and Contents
Handwritten and signed letter, composed on "New York Journal, W. R. Hearst" stationary, and dated June 26 of an unspecified year. Abbott writes to a "Mr. Walker," perhaps the American editor, John Brisben Walker (1847-1931). Abbott invites Walker to meet "a friend of mine, Clarence S. Darrow," at a luncheon when Walker is next in New York City. Abbot also comments on authors. "Hawthorne on the Indian plague is grimly fascinating, but Le Gallienne has not outdone Fitz Gerald."
