Letters to Alfred Kreymborg, 1935-1939.

In a letter, 1935 June 18, Marion Virginia, Anderson discusses two productions of the "Winesburg play" noting that one done by Jasper Deeter at the Hedgerow Theater near Philadelphia was excellent and one by a group in New Orleans was "miserable." Annotations on the verso of the first letter may be by Kreymborg. In a letter, 1939 September 2 from Ripshin Farm in Troutdale, Virginia, Anderson thanks Kreymborg for dedicating a play to him and promises to read some proofs of the fables within a few days [The four apes and other fables of our day?].
