Letters of Guy Wetmore Carryl [manuscript], 1896-1903.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647879640

Letters primarily relate to Carryl's work as a poet. In a letter to Copeland and Day dated January 27, 1897, Carryl wishes to submit a volume of poems for publication, with an introduction by Edmund Clarence Stedman. He compares the poems to those by Scollard and Carman; the size of the volume would be similar to "Hills of Song" or "The Road to Castaly," and Carryl assures a sale of 500 copies in New York City. In a letter to Carolyn Wells, dated November 27, 1903, Carryl thanks Wells for a marked copy of "The Reader" containing compliments from Sir Herbert Stanley. In a letter to Mrs. Henry dated 1896 Carryl looks forward to a small remembrance as a reward for kind words written about the correspondent's daughter.
