http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191048405

Two postal cards and two letters from John Steinbeck. The two postal cards are postmarked 3 April and 8 September 1936 and are to Harry Thornton Morton, Jr., who later wrote The Novels of John Steinbeck (Chicago: Normandie Press, 1939); in the earlier card Steinbeck discusses the writer John O'Hara. One letter dated 1 February 1939 is to Morton; the second letter (undated) is to Ben Abramson, in which Steinbeck discusses his novel Cup of Gold (London: Heineman, 1937), which he says he wrote "long ago." There is also a xerox copy of the Abramson letter.
