Louis Evan Shipman correspondence 1906-1923 1906-1908

http://archives.nypl.org/the/21432

Playwright, novelist and editor of Life (1922-1924), Louis Evan Shipman's most sucessful play was probably D'ARCY OF THE GUARDS (1901). Other titles include THE CRISIS, THE CROSSING, ON PAROLE, THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, FOOLS ERRANT, and POOR RICHARD. Shipman was born in Brooklyn, NY, educated at Brooklyn Polytechnic and Columbia and Harvard Universities, lived for a number of years in New Hampshire and spent his last years in France. The collection is almost entirely letters by Shipman to his lawyers, George C. Hazelton, Jr. and John H. Hazelton, regarding his claim against Mr. Braden, the manager, at least for a time, of Shipman's play ON PAROLE and later letters accompanying his payments to his lawyers. Also includes one letter by the lawyers to Shipman and one personal letter by Shipman to a friend.
