First Edition. Laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from Edna Ferber signed "Edna" in black fountain pen ink on her engraved 730 Park Avenue letterhead, New York, October 4, 1953, written to actress Katharine Cornell: "For weeks, Kit dear, IÕve been wanting to tell you how happy I am to know that you're going into rehearsal with the new Crouse-Lindsay play. For years I've been nagging you about doing a new and modern play. IÕm jealous--or is it envious? I wish I could have been the lucky one to write it. Last February, when I was in Spain, I came upon four gay colorful prints and I thought immediately that they might be rather nice marching down that winding stairway wall in the Palisades Palace. They are French, not Spanish. Now I'm in doubt about them. They're is nothing more horrendous than to be given house presents that you absolutely know would mar your house decoration and furnishing plan. I thank I'll just keep the pictures, framed, until some future time when I can give you a chance to say, yes, but not, they just won't do in my house. My love to you and Guthrie, dear girl. And every good wish for the new play. Edna." *Cornell starred in "The Prescott Proposals" written by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse, directed by Lindsay. The book is fine in a near fine neatly price-clipped dust jacket. The book contains pictures of Cornell starring in the role on Broadway.
