I was taught always to enclose a stamped and addressed envelope for return. Go thou and do likewise! Best wishes, Upton Sinclair" Pulitzer prize winning author, Upton Sinclair (1878-1968), is probably best known for his 1906 novel, The Jungle, which exposed the grossly unsanitary and dangerous labor conditions in the US meat packing industry. The author of nearly 100 books, many of which were bestsellers, Sinclair was also an outspoken socialist who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress and was the Democratic nominee for California Governor in 1934. Several of his books were made into major motion pictures, including The Jungle, and Oil!, which was adapted as the 2007 movie, There Will Be Blood. ADVICE FROM ONE AUTOGRAPH COLLECTOR TO ANOTHER. 1 p., written on the back of a 1963, Lilly Library of Indiana University program for a Sinclair exhibit. 8.5 x 6.5 inches.
