Woolmer, J. Howard, 1929-

"Thanks for your letter and for the manuscript that you sent to me. It was very kind of you and is very much appreciated. Mour comments about my comission are also appreciated."

"I talked to Larry Wallrich on the telephone this afternoon and as I suspected, he has no books, manuscripts or letters that would be of interest to Mrs. Chilver. It would be unusual for him to have anything of this nature at this late date as most booksellers are not wealthy enough to be able to hold on to material that has considerable value."

"I understand your concern about the Bibliography but feel that you have no cause to worry. Alan Clark and I will work well together, I feel. I've already sent off a batch of information to him taken from various reference works at the New York Public Library..."

"Many thanks for sending me the letter from Mrs. Heard and your reply. I'm returning them with this note...In reference to your second paragraph, Allen Clark never said anything to give me the impression that you were pressing him."

"Many thanks for the letter of August 24th. I'm writing this in haste as I only returned yesterday evening and will be away again tomorrow..."

"I am enclosing my cheque for $3,825.00 to cover the material last sold to Tulsa at $4,500.00 less fifteen percent comission."

"Many thanks for sending me the manuscript of your comments on the Virginia Woolf Letters. I found it extremely interesting and informative. Your comment about only the 'toadies' being able to object in advance to the inclusion of objectionable 'Woolfisms' is very well taken."

"Believe me, I have no objections to having my name associated with your bibliography. My problem is simply one of time. I haven't been able to do any work on my Malcolm Lowry project for the past two or three months;..." "As far as publishing the bibliography is concerned, I am still very much interested in doing this. The only problem here would be if the book was too big physically for us to handle."

"I think that I could go along with your suggestion about the two indexes for poetry titles. This would mean that anyone using the book would have to check two indexes rather than one but that isn't an insurmountable obstacle."

"Thanks for your letters. I'm not quite sure what to tell you about the 'Friends of the Library' in Nashville. Very often these organizations consist of people with very good intentions but without very much knowledge of books or of the Library's real needs."
