MACLEISH, ARCHIBALD
(1892 - 1982) American poet influenced by Pound and Eliot, a Pulitzer Prize winner for his verse concerning social issues and democracy. T.L.S. "Archie" in pencil on his personal letterhead, 1p. 4to., Conway, June 27 [n.y.] to "Nig". A rather bizarre, poetic letter reading in part: "…Abouth that fifteen dollars I loaned you when we were under the ice lump at the bottom of that silver pitcher just before we dictated the letter to the Ningle-nangle-noo which was about the time we ran into the rusty-feathered darling-bird singing drinkety drankety drunk in the cool colloidal cellars…shortly before the apotheosis of the French-speaking Gene-jean with the mississippi accent and the Irish tongue…the Rum the Cup the Ruuuum the Cuuuuup is still a'swirling and a' swilling - well, as to that fifteen dollars - here she be…" Very good.
