Original Typed Document Signed by William Faulkner – Contract between Lemuel Ayers and William Faulkner with his publishers Random House giving Ayers the rights to produce a play production of “Requiem For a Nun.” Signed by William Faulkner, and Robert Haas on behalf of Random House. Faulkner wrote “Requiem For a Nun” specifically for his actress friend and fellow Mississippian, Ruth Ford. In turn, Ford spent the next eight years attempting to mount a production of the play on Broadway production which she did not succeed at doing until 1959. During this process Lemuel Ayers eventually bowed out as producer, and was replaced.
