George L. Lewin correspondence, 1890-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702188580

The collection consists of letters to Lewin and third-party correspondence, which was apparently collected for Lewin's book dealership. Letters to Lewin are from Henry Miller, William Plomer, Upton Sinclair, the University of Texas, Laurens van der Post and Cecil Woolf. They relate chiefly to the sale of Lewin's correspondence with John Cowper Powys and others. Letters from William Plomer touch on a wider range of subjects, including the Byron Society and various writing projects of Plomer. Third-party correspondence includes letters (1915-1923) about Private Grigorii Gutman, a Russian soldier who attempted to transfer into the English military in 1917, one letter (1909) from John Masefield to E. H. Visiak about Visiak's poetry and one letter (1940) from Francis Knollys to an unidentified recipient that reads "It is now settled that Prince Albert Victor and Prince George do not go tonight."
