Letter from Laura Jackson to Ellsworth Mason, 1973-08-26

"The Madeline Vera matter is not for me on the plane of agitation of mine, and its entitlement to respect. We have here a liberty taken by Mr. Kirkham for which he has had no authority from me. I have never made public identification of myself as M.V. Mr. Kirkham has had sufficient acquaintance with me, by correspondence and by personal visit, for awareness of of my my view of the outrage committed by Messrs, Higginson and Graves in their making themselves authorities as to the identification of M.V."

"As to 'related material': there's a good deal at Cornell; A very fine typescript of The Telling that had to be made at a point was bought from me by a bookseller in which I have come to have confidence - it need be no secret, his name is Theodore Wilentz, who was of The Discovery Bookshop, and is now in charge of the Yale Bookshop, at the Yale Co-op."
