Writer (1905–1970) whose more notable works include Appointment in Samarra and Butterfield 8. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Collier’s letterhead, December 22, 1954. Letter to Gordon. In part: “Except for the well known fact that I am a mush-mouth, I see no reason not to accept your kind invitation to be a Bergen Lecturer…I am going to marry Katharine Lansing Barnes Bryan…I understand that the Coldest College Daily took me slightly apart recently for things I said about The New Yorker book reviewing staff in my book Sweet & Sour, a worst seller that I trust will be available to the thousands who will overflow the Payne Whitney gym during my lecture…You were in a very tough spot with Anthony West, not being able to call him a bastard. Very frustrating. I seem to be permanently ensconced on the wagon and consequently won’t be able to blame booze for my forensic indiscretions this time.” Intersecting folds, some mild toning, and a staple hole to top right, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned candid of O’Hara and his second wife Belle, as well as Gordon’s letter to O’Hara.
