Sherwood Anderson letter and note, after 1925.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71790587

Sherwood Anderson made notable contributions to American literature as an author of short stories and in his encouragement of other writers. Born and raised in Ohio, Anderson had an indifferent education, but worked hard to become a successful businessman; after a minor breakdown, his creative spirit rebelled, he left his previous life, and he began writing seriously. Although he wrote novels and essays, he is best remembered for his influential short stories, epitomized by the linked group of tales collected as Winesburg, Ohio. Anderson's literary influence can be seen in writers such as John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe, but he also had notable personal influences on the careers of Hemingway, William Faulkner, and many others.
