Item Listing

Letter

Theodore Dreiser , Westminster, Maryland , to Louis Wilkinson , Rockaway Beach, New York
1917 Jul 5
ALS, 2 p. w/env

[Dreiser responds to Wilkinson's invitation to visit, "You will note that I am not in N.Y. at present. Am writing, literally under the greenwood tree. When I get back, the latter part of this month, shall be only too glad to take advantage of your sea-view some p.m. The land view here is about as charming as anything could be and instead of slang I am learning country patois. Tell Mrs. Wilkinson the question of cooling is not important at present."]
