TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, June 2, 1933. Letter to Alice Steinlein of the Greenwood Book Shop, Wilmington, Delaware, commenting on his ongoing work on the manuscript for Of Time and the River, which would be published in 1935. In part: "I am sincerely grateful for what you say to me about my work and appreciate it all the more because it comes from one who has had experience in selling books as well as in reading them. I am working as usual, and this time I hope with the end—one end—in sight—on the manuscript of a very long book which, if I ever complete it, will be more of a trilogy of long books than a single book, yet all belonging to a single theme. No part of it, I am glad to say, will be called K-19, which was never more than a minor section in it and which I mistakenly allowed a publicity man in Scribners to publicize about a year ago. Anyway I hope that it will be worth reading and that I will be able to feel some happiness for having written it. I see very few people and lead a very solitary life but I want you to know that it is a sincere satisfaction for me to know that there are some people who believe in what I write as you do." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
