DREISER, Theodore

Autograph Letter Signed ("Theodore Dreiser")

Single sheet of Dreiser's stationery, written on both sides, dated 16 October 1928 from New York City to Jean Hull. Folded as mailed, some foxing and light soiling, presentable and very good. "Didn't I write & say that I enjoy your Australian notes so much. Though life there appears to be much the same as here still the points of difference -- and especially the right-now-ness of them have an appetizing flavor for me. Again you have a graphic pen -- swiftly illuminating. And how thoroughly you keep away from yourself. But you need not. Your personal reactions... should come in. After all you are writing in part about yourself." An interesting letter, with more content than the usually perfunctory Dreiser correspondence.
