Woollcott, who was drama critic of the New York Times writes to author Edna Ferber ("Dear Young Woman"), extolling one of her short stories: "…'Old Lady Mandle' is pure gold and glory. If a word or letter of it were altered, I should shriek with personal pain….I read it twice at a sitting--or rather a lying…." Small edge split at upper fold and lower fold is split, affecting nothing. With transmittal envelope. Woollcott was a member of the newly-started (1919) Algonquin Round Table; Miss Ferber would soon become a member.
