Scope and Content Information

In this collection of James Branch Cabell letters to Carl Van Doren and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cabell thanks Van Doren, editor of The Nation, for his reviews of Cabell's Figures of Earth, The Silver Stallion, and Barren Ground; mentions revisions he is working on for Chivalry and The Line of Love; and discusses a proposed introduction by Van Doren to a re-issued edition of Jurgen. The introduction was rejected by the publishers. Cabell sends F. Scott Fitzgerald a copy of Jurgen and praises Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise. Also included in the collection are two portraits of Cabell.

These letters are on microfilm (M-1530), from originals at Princeton University. They are in the order in which they appear on the microfilm.
