Description

Defending Elmer Gantry

ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, September 16, 1932. In full: “By all means write of the ministry as good shepherds. But why would that be a ‘rebuttal to Elmer Gantry’? In that book several fine & spiritual pastors are praised. Is it a service to a noble company, then to praise the scoundrels among them also?” In fine condition. Accompanied by a carbon copy of the original, rambling letter to Lewis concerning Elmer Gantry and a booklet by Lewis entitled Cheap & Contented Labor. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
