TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, March 5, 1926. Letter to David Warren Ryder. In part: “Please let me thank you for the friendly impulse that prompted you to write your recent letter about ‘Porgy.’ I am more than pleased that you like the book and will appreciate any word that you may say for it in your paper. I have previously published two volumes of poetry: ‘Carolina Chansons,’ in collaboration with Hervey Allen, and ‘Skylines and Horizons,’ both through the Macmillan Company. If you will write to Miss Hutchinson, publicity Department of The Macmillan Company, and ask for the books for review in your magazine, I am sure that she will be glad to send you copies.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some light toning and dampstaining to edges, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a carbon of Ryder’s letter to Heyward which reads, in part: “The primitive negro, uneducated, and unspoiled by contamination, has always been a subject of fascinating interest to me; and your portrayal of his soul in ‘Porgy’ is in its excellence beyond anything I have ever read. I shall take pleasure in reviewing the book for our little group of readers…You may be sure that I shall spread the glory of ‘Porgy’ about amongst my friends and acquaintances. It is, I repeat, an everlasting delightful book.”
