About This Item
Typed Letter Signed (in the form of contract proposal) from Victor Weybright at The New American Library of World Literature, Inc. 501 Madison Avenue, New York 22, New York, Murray Hill 8-3470, May 9, 1952. Addressed to Dylan Thomas c/o Mr. Oscar Williams 25 Water Street, New York 4, New York. Very good.
Signed by Thomas at end, and initialed twice by him noting hand corrections.
Contract for the purchase of the first part of Dylan Thomas' "Adventures In The Skin Trade."
Thomas was in New York on his American lecture tour, having arrived on January 20th lecturing at Harvard, U.C. Berkeley, et.al.; leaving the U.S. on May 16th.
Oscar Williams (born Kaplan, 1900-1964) was a poet, anthologist, friend and promoter of Dylan Thomas. He occupied a penthouse at 35 Water Street and Thomas most likely stayed there when in New York.
Dylan Thomas contracts are uncommon on the market today.
See Dylan Thomas "The Collected Letters" (2000 ed) pages 958-959 for a footnote detailing this contract, and a related letter to Oscar Williams.
