American author (1903–1987) best known for the popular novels God’s Little Acre and Tobacco Road. Five items: penetrating glossy 8 x 10 half-length photo of the author, signed in blue felt tip; TLS signed “Skinny,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, October 2, 1945, personal letterhead. Caldwell writes to Cap, in part: “I think the Authors’ League is right. My idea is to do nothing until the matter comes to a head, which it should do within the next few weeks”; TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, January 23, 1942, personal letterhead. Caldwell writes, in part, to David Lord regarding his book on the “longleaf region,” and extends his apologies for his inability to include it in the Folkways series. “The trouble is that we cannot undertake to publish another book from the southeastern region at this time…in order to have the Series represent the entire nation”; TQS, one page, 8.5 x 11. Caldwell signs at the conclusion of a quote from one of his works, in part: “Well, take my advice and find somebody else to get your advice from after this…or else tell Clarise that she’s not going to have any more whims from now on”; and a brief TLS, one side of a green 5 x 3 card, February 17, 1984. Caldwell writes to an admirer, in full: “I have never been able to bring myself to sign my name to quotations from my works.” In fine condition, with a few light paperclip impressions, a small staple mark, and a pencil notation to the first letter, and a mild area of soiling to the second letter.
