Partly-printed Autograph Document Signed

Poet best remembered for "The Man with the Hoe." Partly-printed ADS, 1p, 7¼" X 10½", West New Brighton, NY, 1929 September 21. Very good. Updating form sent out by "Who's Who in America" for their 1930-31 edition, on orange stock, with Markham's 2" X 3" biographical entry from the previous edition affixed onto the blank center area. Markham has written on the wide margin, "is frequently called the leader of the Democratic movement in American poetry" and "Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters," plus one minor correction. At the bottom he signs and gives his address. An editor has made marks and drawn lines in green ink through most of Markham's additions; two checkmarks near the signature barely touch two letters; there are several other editor's marks, in pencil and red pencil. A colorful, extremely interesting document.
