Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, 1943-1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155864521

1 item is a letter to Werfel informing him of his designation to receive an honorary degree, in 1943. The letter from Alma Mahler is an appeal to Sproul to help expedite her request for a visa, for her planned trip to Austria; it also reflects the fact that she was planning that the University of California would be the repository for Franz Werfel's papers. For a copy of the program for commencement ceremonies at UCLA in 1943, see: Memorabilia related to Franz Werfel's Literary Work and Honors Received.
