Papers of John Dos Passos, 1930-1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136613

The collection contains a typed fair copy, signed, of the last section in "Nineteen Nineteen"; an autograph quotation from "The 42nd Parallel"; and an uncorrected galley proof of the first edition of "The 42nd Parallel." The bulk of the correspondence concerns Dos Passos' literary output including several letters to and from Paul Hoffman regarding the publishing of excerpts from "The Big Money" in Atlantic Monthly, a letter regarding the use of an incident in Frank Copley's biography of Frederick W. Taylor, possible watercolors for a section on Emiliano Zapata and material for a Lucas Fisher broadcast. The collection also includes Dos Passos' opinions on his own work, his father's opinions on the nature of death, a contrasting of communists and conservatives with a delineation of the task before conservatives and a reference to "The Theme Is Freedom," and a response to a class of school children on being good citizens.
