De Voto, Bernard Augustine, 1897-1955. Letters, 1919-1920, to Katherine Becker.

Title: Letters, 1919-1920, to Katherine Becker.

Primarily letters to De Voto's friend, Katherine Becker. Some were written during the summer before they left their family homes in Ogden; most were written from Cambridge, after De Voto's return to Harvard and Becker's move to the Halstead School in New York. They reflect De Voto's intensity of expectations for his own writing development and give an in depth picture of formative years of his early twenties. Included are some sonnets written by De Voto for Becker (1919-1920) and a carbon of a letter from Arthur Perkins (Becker's later husband) to De Voto, together with De Voto's response, 1935. There is also a letter written by Katherine Becker Perkins to Wallace Stegner, 28 April 1979, describing her relationship with De Voto.
