Correspondence of Grace Hegger Lewis, 1928 Aug 13 and Aug 24 | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Summary:In a letter written to [Maxwell] Perkins, Mrs. Lewis offers for publication an article she has written on Reno, "written from actual experience, and with a sincerity and an accuracy far removed from the cheap, wise-cracking articles which heretofore have been the only medium of describing this increasingly popular substitute for Paris." She identifies herself as the "former wife of Sinclair Lewis" and says that her article is written "with his approval." The attached carbon copy of an unsigned response from the Magazine accepts the article "provided it is not tied up with any book soon to appear" and offersto pay $200 for it. The carbon copy has a penciled annotation: "Called 8/30 and accepted terms."
