Collection of nine letters, eight TLSs and one ALS, all from 1975–76, and all to agent Joan Daves regarding her work, publishers, and an upcoming reading, 11 pages total. One TLS, dated July 16, 1976, reads, in part: “The plans for a reading of ‘The Jilting of Granny Weatherall’ by the Canadian Broadcasting Company also are acceptable. It is an old and good story and I would love to be able to hear it. Are you interested in pursuing the possibility of my doing the reading for them? In the same vein I have thought for many years of the possibility of doing a recording of a book of several stories.” Another TLS, dated January 22, 1976, reads, in part: “I have gone over and over and over these hundreds of pages of manuscript of the Sacco-Vanzetti book I am writing, or indeed have written, and it is coming out really page by page because I have written several things more than once in my effort to get everything in that needs to be there, cut down to the essentials. It takes time and energy…I have not read a single book on this subject by anyone. I intended to read several, but I never did and my story is exactly personal without any intention on my part. I had meant to consult the feelings and views of persons who had been at the very center of this tragedy, but I never have until now.” In very good to fine overall condition. Accompanied by three unsigned hardcover works by Porter: A Christmas Story; A Defense of Circe; and Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte. In 1977, Porter would publish The Never-Ending Wrong, an account of the notorious trial and executions of Sacco and Venzetti, which she had protested at the time of their trial.
