Pulitzer Prize–winning American writer (1890–1980) best known for such enduring stories as ‘The Jilting of Granny Weatherall’ and the novel Ship of Fools. TLS, one onionskin page, 8.25 x 11, June 7, 1965. Letter to Vida Vliet at American Institutional College. In part: “It is true that I had two near fatal attacks of pneumonia twice within ten months…Of course you may have permission to read my letters in the Beinecke Library at Yale. I had no notion that so many of my letters were there; I was much distressed to learn that a dear friend of mine, now dead, had been in such povery [sic] he was forced to sell my letters—I suppose along with other letters from friends—to the Yale collection. I am told there are about twenty five of mine there to this one friend…I would be so grateful if you could have my letters copied…for me, as I need them very badly for my own memoirs and personal history. It is very painful to me to have them disappear into libraries and I am not even told where they are.” In fine condition, with some scattered light wrinkling and toning and a trivial tear to left edge. The year after writing this letter, Porter would be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter.
