About This Item
1943. ("Rockwell Kent") in dark blue fountain pen ink on personal letterhead, Ausable Forks, New York, February 14, 1943. 8 1/8" x 10 1/2"; 1 1/2 pages (recto and verso on 1 leaf). Very good. To Miss Jessica Smith; Soviet Russia Today; 114 East 32nd. Street; New York City, New York. A long letter disputing various parts of an article written about him by Ella Winter*". In part: ".There are many things in Ella Winter's article that I felt to be unfortunate. I was sorry that she had to tell on Santa Claus by proclaiming that I had circularized the whole country to send letters of congratulations to the students. It is quite untrue that I had asked the local people to entertain our guests. Their invitations were spontaneous and generous. It was untrue that I asked, or received, supplies form the stores. Whatever was needed I bought. It was untrue that I asked Mrs. Untermeyer for a donation.I was sorry to have to write the students an apology for the things that Ella Winter had written. And I was particularly to have been forced to such ungraciousness toward one who had been so generous - too generous - in praise of our hospitality." *Ella Winter (1898-1980), journalist, married to Lincoln Steffens, and later to screenwriter Donald Ogden Stewart.. No Binding. Very Good.
