Circa: 1920's
Manufacturer: By Hamlin Garland--American writer
Letter typed by renowned American writer Hamlin Garland discussing an upcoming book he is working on among other literary content. Based on the address indicated on the letterhead and the content of the letter including mention of soldiers, John Erskine, the war, and the Y. M. C. A., it appears the letter was likely typed in the late years of World War I or possibly early 1920's.
The recipient of this letter was prominent American journalist Mark Sullivan (1874-1952). Sullivan was considered to be one of the most widely respected journalists of his day corresponding with Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. Sullivan was also a confidant to Theodore Roosevelt as well as a good friend and confidant to Herbert Hoover. In addition to Presidents, Sullivan corresponded with many notable politicians, businessmen and literary figures of the day including Arthur Conan Doyle who he was good friends with as well as Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Orville Wright and many other prominent and influential people from the 1890's to mid 1900's.
Sullivan wrote and published between 1926-1935 a six volume book by the title 'Our Times 1900-1925' which chronicled the social and political history of America from the 1890's to the 1920's.
Sullivan correspondence can be found archived in the manuscript division of the Library of Congress and in the Herbert Hoover Archives.
The letter which is signed in ink by Garland is typed along with hand-written notations on personal stationery with '71 EAST NINETY-SECOND STREET NEW YORK CITY letterhead. Stationery dimensions measures approximately 8.5"h x 5.5"w with fold creases.
