http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136589

Woollcott's letters include a refusal to assist in a piece about himself (would rather take prussic acid), and a discussion of Booth Tarkington's memorial to Harry Leon Wilson in the Saturday Review of Literature which mentions Woollcott's favorite selections from Wilson's work. He also responds to autograph seekers Lola Kovener and Glen Walton Blodgett. An autograph completes the collection.
