Item/Collection
Note: Novelist and playwright Thornton Wilder, on March 27,
1929, writes from Washington, D.C., declining an invitation
to visit with Cale Young Rice.
Wilder pens:
"It was kind of you to think of me so promptly and with
such generosity. Unfortunately I discover that Louisville
is one of the few towns on the route that is hedged in by
an engagement in neighboring towns the day before and the
day after. I dare not go out - even in the simplest conditions
and where I know congenialit awaits. Lecturing does not come
easily to me -- I get all excited -- and between times I must
lie low." |
