Description: Cambridge, MA, 4 March 1935. Letter. A 1-1/2-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED on two sheets of 8-1/2" x 11" paper to a teacher, Carlton F. Wells, replying to his letter about a story he has written: "It is a comforting thing to know that someone has liked a story enough to go on reading it or using it in some way.. MY LADY'S TEA was the third story I ever sold, and was written the year after I graduated from College; and it seems to me that it has a vitality and freshness that has gone. But since then I have been learning the trade .. and I hope some of the eagerness will come back. The trouble with writing is that you have to produce more than your quality will allow, to make a living. And if you make money at some other job, the quality suffers. And almost no writer has the nerve to spend time on one thing to make it perfect as he can. Of course if you have genius the troubles mentioned do not count. But I feel this very keenly now when for two years I have been trying to digest and form and make a story of the Revolution in pioneer New York." Much more. Creases from mailing. Near Fine .
