Scope and Content Information

In this collection of letters, James Branch Cabell writes on literary subjects, discussing articles and reviews he has read and plans to write. Specifically, Cabell encourages De Casseres to read his Beyond Life and Jurgen and then thanks De Casseres for an article De Casseres subsequently wrote in support of Jurgen. In turn, Cabell compliments De Casseres' Muse of Lies and Shadow Eater. He expresses regret that his schedule does not permit him to write an introduction to the latter book. Two Christmas cards are included.

These letters are on microfilm(M-1367) and are in the order in which they are on the microfilm. Note: Original returned to Mr Cabell in 1964.
