Papers of Vachel Lindsay [manuscript], 1914-1927.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/402520195

The collection contans a letter, 1914 April 28, to John Hall Wheelock, praising the latter's poetry and expressing disdain for people who judge others by class. There are two letters, 1915 January 16 and September 17, to Miss Mary V. Clark of Charleston, Missouri, regarding an appearance before a Culture Club and his payment; and two letters, both 1915 October 4 to "Arnold" on his appearance at the Little County Theatre. A letter to Mary Douglas Hay, 1916 January 10, encloses autographs of John Drew and William Dean Howells [not included]. A typed form filled out by Lindsay, 1919, presumably for a publicity or management agency, concerns his tour requirements including subjects and available dates, and refers to a printed promotional leaflet. The collection contains a letter, 1927 March 23, (with his hieroglyphic stamp) to Marjorie Blatchford and Lesley Frost noting that the check and the "Small Town" manuscript arived safely. The collection also contains a pencil sketch of Lindsay signed [E. Bonney?]; two signed photomechanical prints of his collage "Xanadu"; and a signed photograph of Lindsay.
