Letter and Miscellaneous Material of Joseph Hergesheimer, Accession #7702-f, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
This collection was purchased on 1998 February 6.
In a letter to Ellen Glasgow, 1923 November 13, Joseph Hergesheimer regrets not having seen her during his recent trip to Virginia to research 19th Gloucester County, Va., for a book. He also mentions Carl Van Vechten and an imaginative portrait by Florine Stettheimer.
The collection also contains an one paragraph biographical summary of Hergesheimer and three clipped pictures.
Writes because he cannot reach her on the telephone and must go to the Virginia State Library, and on the next day must go against all of his plans to New York, to the private viewing of an imaginative portrait by Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944); other complications with his Virginia excursion for information for a book set in Gloucester County, Virginia, at the beginning of the 19th century, is a lack of primary material; has spent his time on the trail of old family letters with no result; but hopes to see her on his return and visit at her home] with envelope.
