http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38508997

Anderson writes to Ben Hecht, 27 March 1959, in response to a letter he wrote to her after reading one of her manuscripts, about the story and its filmic possibilities and asks if his wife Rose liked the story. Rose Caylor Hecht responds, April 1959, with a critique of the lesbianism in Anderson's manuscript. Also, includes a two-page typed manuscript with pencil corrections by Anderson for a preface to a new book she is writing, possibly an early draft for her autobiographical, The Strange necessity (1969).
