Jackson, Laura (Riding), 1901-1991

"I take in what Mr. Wallrich has reported; I am grateful for your undertaking communication with him as to these matters. I am communicating what you have written to me on them to Mrs. Chilver."

"I have thought of telephoning you for a brief word between us as to your view of Alan Clark's procedures." "Then, I have had it in mind to inquire of you whether you might be interested in becoming a publisher of The Telling on a permanent basis." "Then, I have thought of you in connection with the plan, on which I have been addressed, for an enlargement of material on the Fugitives in the Nashville Library set-up -..."

"I have been closely occupied with my guests Mark Jacobs and Mr. James Mathias till the day before yesterday..." "Yes, it is something for pondering, the bibliographical preoccupation. How scientific can it be without losing the quality of reference to the work of a person?"

"I have not yet thanked you for returning to me the correspondence between Miss Jean Heard and myself.--I have had no word, yet, of acknowledgement of my letter. I think it unlikel[y] that I have anything of the Fugitive peri[o]d retained. I do have the correspondence, of a few years ago, with Miss Goldie Hirsch..."

"Thank you very much for sending me the check for material sold to Tulsa, for the agreed on comission."

"I am glad about your liking my piece on the Woolf Letters, and the editorial treatment of them; and I am grateful for the comment you have made on the 'aunt' matter." "There is, oh, so much for my treating of, of literary-world rough-house behavior, I have a rendez-vous to keep with the subject of J. Bronowsky, for instance,."

"I do not know whether Alan Clark had a second meeting with you; the last word I had from him came from Washington, before his return from there to New York City. His report back on the first meeting with you pictured, to my understanding, some modifications in your disposition towards assisting in the bibliography-forming operation, and towards the publishing of the results of this."

"I am grateful for your letter. - Forgive my slowness in responding. I have been pressing myself to get off the typescript text of a book that a publisher is interested in seeing - I had promised that it would be available for reading in early November."

"I shall try, in this letter, to reply to what you wrote on things biblographical, in relation to the project that you and I, and you and Alana Clark, have before us, with all possible (at this time possible,) attention to the problems involved for us all."

"This is to make sure that greetng and wishing word go to you - with a share for Mr. Brotherson - before the Christmas time communication lull." "Some time, at your ease, address me, please. I am heading for application for an N.E.H Fellowship."
