Letters of Archibald MacLeish, Accession # 6898-h, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
This collection was purchased from Bev Chaney Jr. Books on 30 August 1988.
In a series of letters MacLeish writes to McAdoo re McAdoo's meeting with Roy Winnick and conditions under which Winnick may proceed with a biography of MacLeish; his own meeting with Winnick and the legal ramifications of publishing arrangements for a volume of MacLeish correspondence; plans for changes in the index of Riders on the Earth; a future interview with a former student [Dan?] Hall; and a photograph he is sending taken by Robert Laramie.
MacLeish discusses McAdoo's meeting with Roy Winnick, editor of Letters of Archibald MacLeish, and the conditions for allowing Roy Winnick to write a MacLeish biography. He also mentions questions about the index to his book Riders on the Earth and an old student of his from Harvard days, [Joe ?] Hall.
He asks McAdoo for his publishing reaction to Roy Winnick's plan to edit a volume of MacLeish's correspondence, later published as Letters of Archibald MacLeish in 1983.
MacLeish writes concerning a photograph, possibly of himself, taken by Robert Laramie, apparently a photographer for the Greenfield Recorder .
