Esther Van Dresser , Secretary to Theodore Dreiser , New York City , to Ellis D. Robb , Atlanta, Georgia
1929
TLS, 1 p.

[suggests that Robb secure a copy of Twelve Men "for in the study of My Brother Paul , Mr. Dreiser tells just exactly what you wish to know about On the Banks of the Wabash and in the most delightful detail. Briefly, however, Mr. Dreiser is responsible for the skeleton of the first verse and the chorus, while credit for the music, the finished first verse and the second belongs to Paul Dresser .
