Acquisition Information

Scope and Content Information

This collection consists of two letters to Peter Hoy, French Tutor and Fellow Librarian, Merton College, Oxford, England, from John Lehmann (1907- ) and John Wain (1925- ).

John Lehmann, English poet and editor of New Writing and The London Magazine , responds in his letter, April 24, 1962, to Hoy's questions about his memories of Andre Gide by telling Hoy of his intention of discussing Gide in the third volume of his autobiography.

John Wain, an English poet and novelist, thanks Hoy for copies of the Anglo-Welsh poet and translator Anthony Conran's (1931- ) poems and hopes that Conran will soon be able to give a reading at Brasenose, December 1, 1971.
