Description
Hubert writes from New York City on New Directions Publishing Corporation letterhead to his parents in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding Willard Maas's recent party, which Oscar Williams, Paul Goodman, Ruth Stephan, Mary McCarthy, Alex Stammos, and Earl Murphy attended. Hubert also attended painter Glenn Collins's party and poet-translator Walter McElroy's party. He cancelled his poetry reading for the Poetry Society of America and instead will have dinner with John Slocum and the Joyce Society. He saw Beatrice Lillie in "Inside USA." His agent, John Valentine Schaffner, spoke with Theodore "Ted" M. Purdy about Appleton-Century-Crofts, Inc.'s plans for "The Welcome" novel and another potential novel. He states that Eudora Welty will be coming to New York.
