John Vance Cheney Collection, Accession #7544 , Clifton Waller Barrett Library, Special Collections, University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
This collection was a gift from Clifton Waller Barrett in December 1963.
The collection contains two manuscript poems "Beyond the Day" and "And Ghosts break up their Graves," both with notes in another hand regarding proof and publication in the Atlantic Monthly.
In an exchange with Atlantic Monthly editor [Ellery Sedgwick],Cheney submits a poem and states he now understands the line from Chapman's Homer "But age, that all men overcomes, hath made prise on thee"; and Sedgwick returns some submissions with thanks.
