Jackson, Laura (Riding), 1901-1991

"The person to whom I referenced is Professor S- M. Harper, of FLorida State University, Tallahassee, Fla." ... "He became acquainted over some letters of mine to Yeats..."

"I suddenly thought that it might be to sensible point for me to tell you that I am considering acting as an Authors Guild Bulletin faculty for offering a book of mine..."

"There was no limited, signed edition, in the case of either the British or the American publication of the book. I am not clear as to what you wish to know as to the Athlone Press edition."

"I thank you for your letter of September 2nd, and for your thinking on this matter of the disposing of 100 copies of The Telling. I shall act on your thinking. I have 50 copies of the book here, 50 more reserved for me, to be sent at call."

...

"As to the thought of including The Telling in catalogue conceived of as a salute to International Women's Year..."

"I dispatched to you yesterday a box containing 25 copies of The Telling, signed. I have treated no. 1 as your personal copy: may the manner of the treatment suit you."

"Yes, your word as to the manuscripts stopped me in my speculations as to them; it has been a long time since I brought them from England for selling here, and I have put some dependence on a successful issue of this."

"...but suddenly felt that there was need of my refering to something as to your disposition of the book which I had failed to think. If you list them in a catalogue, please, bear it in mind that I am sensitive to possibilities of literary and personal identification that may not accord with my ideas of the correct or appropriate in my regard."

"I understand, and approve, the scruple that has altered your plan as to the handling of The Telling copies. I should indeed like to see a copy of your script for the flyer-"

...

"I am sorry our Mr. Gallup idea had no future. I dislike that talk of 'major' acquisitions."

"It pleased me that our thought as to the Berg Collection met, as it did- and that the response there was hospitable.. As I related in our talking yesterday, the bibliographer person is seasoned in such matters, besides being a very upright person."

"How could there be any criticism of the flyer, which is all practical essentiality! ---As to a paragraph in the Publisher's Weekly, that might well from their point of view be something of some descriptive body."
