American author and playwright (1874–1938). Gale became the first female to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1921. Two items: a souvenir handwritten manuscript from Gale’s first story, ‘The Three Travelers,’ one beige page, 8.5 x 11, signed in ink, “Zona Gale, (about 1883).” Gale writes, in part: “The sun was rising behind the western hills, when three travelers appeared, walking very fast for it was getting dark, and they were all alone”; and a TLS, one beige page, 8.5 x 11, Portage, Washington, March 25, 1927. Gale writes to Mr. Mayfield, in full: “You are good to be interested in that little first story. It is here somewhere, done in printing and I distinctly remember sitting on the floor and asking my mother how to spell ‘N—yes.’ I am enclosing the copy which you asked for, and thanks for the little book of Mr. Woodbury’s poem.” Scattered light creasing and light paperclip impressions to both, and a few mild tears to the letter, otherwise fine condition.
