This signed typed note, January 15, 1992, consists of the text for a dust jacket blurb written by James Dickey for the Cambridge/Bruccoli edition of The Great Gatsby , "Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking."
