Description

War-dated archive related to journalist Alistair Cooke, consisting of three TLSs and a typescript, with two letters signed “Alistair,” and the other signed in full, dated between 1943-1944. One letter reads, in part: “From victory girls on the Gulf Coast giving rosemary to soldiers, to lumbermen in Oregon chopping down half the wood that goes into British planes, from the panicky deal of Miami hotel owners yielding their palaces to the Army Air Corps, to prospectors in Arizona flashing infra-red lamps on the hard face of mountains.” In overall very good condition.
