Woolmer, J. Howard, 1929-

"I'm enclosing my cheque for $4,275.00 in payment of the manuscripts that we sold to the University of Tulsa. In reference to your letters of 16th September I'm afraid that I really couldn't go along with your suggestion. Although the dealer you mention is well known to me and we have friendly relations, we still are competitors and I don't think that such a solution would work out."

"I was pleased to hear of Mr. Clark's reactions to my comments on your bibliography. I realize that there is a great deal of work involved in his project, a great amount of detail."

"I'm delighted to hear that Mr. Clark is going to send you a specimenentry for the bibliography. Could I see it? Do you think that he'd mind? If you would like to send me manuscripts occasionally I can keep them here for you."

"How about Majorcan Stories? That's simple and we can always give a little detail in a sub-title, if necessary. If I remember correctly, you have photostats of the Majorcan Stories. Will you send them to me so I can copy them here?"

"As I mentioned in the phone I delayed writing until I could look at the typescripts in the Berg Collection. I've now estimated a total number of about 74,000 words. There wasn't any time at the Berg, however, to actually study the typescripts so I'm afraid that I'm going to have to ask you to send me some copies."

"This is just a short note to let you know that your two packages, the photostats and the Chelsea galleys, have both arrived."

"Your last package of manuscripts has just arrived. We've just finished reading through the manuscripts that we've been considering for publication and we're very interested in doing The Word Woman seperately."

"I feel guilty that I haven't written to you yet about the manuscripts that you sent to me. I'm all tied up on a long and difficult appraisal..."

"I finally got time to appraise your manuscripts this week-end. These include the Chelsea 35 galleys; the two boxes and a manilla folder of Rational Meaning typescripts; and the box of miscellaneous manuscripts."

"I would like to offer the manuscript collection to the Berg Collection and in the event that they do not take them I would then offer them to Tulsa. Library budgets will be the deciding point, I'm afraid. I'm concerned about your papers being scattered too widely."
